NORMAN, Okla. -- Its one thing to have a bad game and have to discuss it with dad.Its another when your father was a three-time all-conference defensive lineman at Oklahoma, the very school whose defense you anchored -- or in Jordan Evans case, didnt anchor against Texas Tech. The Sooners gave up 854 yards in a 66-59 victory on Oct. 22, and Scott Evans wasnt happy about Jordans performance at inside linebacker.Father and son watched film together and it was a rough session.Probably one of the hardest things Ive had to do was just with my dad watching that, Jordan Evans said. It was time to reflect on who I was as a person on and off the field. I realized I was the one hurting the team, and I feel like when you can actually look at yourself in the mirror and know that, it makes it really easy to make a change.Evans took out his earrings and shaved off his tight braids, suggestions from dad. He focused more during practice.He also noticed that teammates such as defensive linemen Charles Walker and Matt Dimon , linebacker Tay Evans and running back Daniel Brooks are no longer playing for the Sooners, with medical reasons affecting each case. He realized he was wasting his privilege.My mentality of the game definitely changed out there, he said. Times ticking, you know. Youre not promised tomorrow in life, and youre also not promised another game. So youve got to play like its your last. Just kind of seeing some of the stuff thats happened to some of my teammates, seeing that Im blessed enough that I can keep going -- might as well make it worthwhile.The results have been stunning. Against Kansas, he had 10 tackles and returned an interception 33 yards for a touchdown. Against Baylor, he had nine tackles, two interceptions and two sacks, and was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week. Against West Virginia, he returned an interception 80 yards for a touchdown. Hes ready for one more big home game on Senior Day, when the seventh-ranked Sooners play Oklahoma State for the Big 12 title on Saturday.Hes just preparing like a professional now, Oklahoma linebacker Ogbonnia Okoronkwo said. Hes really out there making all the checks, putting everybody in the right spot. Hes stepped up. You all have seen all the sacks and interceptions, but theres way more that goes into that.Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops made it clear that Jordan Evans has been a good player for a long time, and he figured hed snap out of his struggles.In the end, hes definitely been highly productive in the last several weeks and whatever that game was, thats an aberration, Stoops said. That hasnt been how hes played for a long time here. Hes really been a spark for us here these last few weeks.Evans suffered a leg strain on the interception return against West Virginia that put the Sooners up 41-7 early in the third quarter, and the Sooners gave up 21 points without him in the 56-28 victory.Really hurt us when he left the game, Stoops said. With all the pieces weve had missing, hes really been kind of the glue. When he went down, it was tougher to manage we held it together in the fourth quarter toward the end.Evans practiced in a limited capacity on Monday and Tuesday and is expected to play in the Bedlam game against the rival Cowboys.We want to make sure were cautious with him, defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. Hes played more football than anybody on our team. He understands the game plan and what Oklahoma State is all about. Weve just got to make sure were cautious with him and get him on the field.

LONDON -- Looking in fine form after two days of rest, Roger Federer equaled Jimmy Connors Open-era record by reaching his 14th Wimbledon quarterfinal.Federer, a seven-time champion at the All England Club, has not dropped a set in the tournament through four matches after beating unseeded American Steve Johnson 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 at Centre Court on Monday.I would have never thought that I was going to win the first four matches in straight sets, so Im extremely pleased, Federer said. The matches might be tough, but then the rest in between [is] great.The victory gave Federer his 306th match win in a Grand Slam and put him into his 48th quarterfinal at a major, three wins away from becoming the first man to win eight Wimbledon titles. He is tied with Pete Sampras and William Renshaw with seven.You can always, always lose the tournament in the first week, but never win it, Federer said. So I did a lot of things right the first week and from now, you really want to -- or you have to -- start playing your best tennis.Looking fresh and sharp after two days off, Federer broke Johnson five times and was in control throughout a match that lasted just over 90 minutes -- one of 16 mens and womens fourth-round matches on the schedule.I didnt think it was as easy as it maybe looked, the third-seeded Federer said.Federer hadnt played since Friday, when he was the only man to finish a third-round match, and he was able to rest over the weekend while the tournament cleared up a backlog of matches caused by a rainy first week.He next faces No. 9 Marin Cilic, the 2014 US Open champiion, who advanced when Kei Nishikori retired from their fourth-round match.ddddddddddddhe fifth-seeded Japanese player was trailing 6-1, 5-1 when he decided to stop the match, giving Cilic a spot in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.Nishikori warmed up for Wimbledon by playing on grass in Halle, Germany, but he pulled out before his second match because of a rib injury.If Federer gets to the final, he could face No. 2-seeded Andy Murray, who handily defeated No. 15 Nick Kyrgios 7-5, 6-1, 6-4 in the last match Monday on Centre Court to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the ninth successive year.Sam Querrey suffered no hangover from his win over No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic as he beat Nicolas Mahut of France 6-4, 7-6 (5), 6-4 on Court 18.Querrey is the first American man to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals since Mardy Fish in 2011 and the first to make it that far at any Grand Slam since?John Isner and Andy Roddick?at the 2011 US Open. The No. 28 seed will next face either sixth-seeded?Milos Raonic or 11th-seeded David Goffin.In other mens play, No. 6 Milos Raonic came back from a two-set deficit to win for the first time in his career, beating No. 11 David Goffin of Belgium 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4; No. 12?Jo-Wilfried Tsonga?of France advanced when his countryman, No. 7 Richard Gasquet, retired with an apparent back injury at 4-2 down in the first set; and No. 32 Lucas Pouille of France downed No. 19 Bernard Tomic 6-4, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 10-8.
