Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said that sophomore quarterback Sam Bradford has torn ligaments in the thumb on his left (non-throwing) hand and will have to have surgery on the hand after the Big 12 championship game Saturday against Missouri in Kansas City.

Stoops said Bradford would be fine to play against Missouri but would likely have to wear a soft cast on his left hand to help support the injury and so that he can handle snaps. That's why Bradford was having such a problem Saturday night dropping snaps in the 61-41 win at Oklahoma State.
