Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops says quarterback Sam Bradford has sustained torn ligaments in the thumb on his left hand.
Stoops announced the injury on Sunday and said Bradford will likely have surgery after the Big 12 championship game.
OU won a three-way tiebreaker with Texas and Texas Tech and will play Missouri on Saturday in the Big 12 championship game.
Bradford sustained his injury on the Sooners' third series on Saturday night but returned. The only difference was he took snaps in the shotgun formation the rest of the game. Stoops said he will be able to play just fine in the Big 12 championship game.
Bradford passed for 370 yards and four touchdowns against Oklahoma State in a 61-41 OU win.

So that's why! I was wondering "where is our fullback Matt Clapp?" during the second half. OU didn't run the ball well at all in the shortgun except for the last TD.
I had the same injury on my right thumb a few years back. Couldn't write, couldn't hold anything for weeks. Need to admire the way Sam Bradford played last Saturday. Get well soon Sam! Hope you get the Heisman & the second Big 12 champs under your belt this weekend (Heupel, Hybl, White, Thompson each got only one - so that's something to shoot for).
