Weis: Decision on future not made

Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis says he doesn`t believe a decision has been made yet on whether he will be back with the Fighting Irish in 2010.

Weis said at his weekly news conference Tuesday that he thinks he`d know if a decision has been made. Athletic director Jack Swarbrick has said he will evaluate the program after the season.

The Irish (6-4) have lost two straight games, to Navy and Pittsburgh. With two games left in his fifth season as coach, Weis has the same 35-25 overall coaching record that got Bob Davie fired eight years ago, and the same .583 winning percentage that got Tyrone Willingham fired five years ago.

Weis said he won`t reflect on the season until it is over.

Murray expects to return to Oklahoma

Running back DeMarco Murray says he won`t decide until the end of the season, but he expects to return to Oklahoma for his senior season.

When asked about his future Tuesday, Murray said he`s "pretty sure I`ll be back here next year."

"I like it here. I don`t want to end my career at OU with an 8-4 record or whatever," Murray said. "I`m just trying to get better and I just enjoy being here. I love the coaching staff. I love the camaraderie with my teammates."

Murray has rushed for 2,358 yards and 32 touchdowns in three years with the Sooners (6-4, 4-2 Big 12).

In last week`s 65-10 win over Texas A&M, Murray tied the school record for running backs with 147 receiving yards. He had touchdown catches of 36 and 67 yards.

Another Vol charged

A fourth Tennessee football player was charged with breaking the law in the last two weeks.

Nyshier Oliver is facing a charge of shoplifting. The 18-year-old freshman defensive back was cited at 1:45 p.m. on Nov. 7, a few hours before the Volunteers hosted Memphis. He is scheduled to make a court appearance on Nov. 23.

According to court records, the Jersey City, N.J., native was spotted allegedly concealing a $110 brown polo shirt from Dillards in a shopping bag.

The court records were released Tuesday, a day after coach Lane Kiffin dismissed two of three players charged with attempted armed robbery.

Glanville resigns

Jerry Glanville resigned as head coach of the Portland State Vikings after three losing seasons.

This past season, Portland State went 2-9 overall and 1-7 in the Big Sky Conference. Over Glanville`s tenure the Vikings went 9-24.

Glanville, who coached in the NFL and was known for his 3-4 defense as well as a penchant for wearing black, was not available for comment Tuesday.

Notable

It`s questionable whether Nebraska tight end Mike McNeill will be able to play in Saturday`s game against Kansas State. McNeill has been battling sore ribs.

Arizona State coach Dennis Erickson said quarterback Samson Szakacsy will take most of the snaps with the first team this week. It`s a sign that the sophomore may make his first career start at UCLA on Saturday.

Washington State linebacker Jason Stripling was arrested on suspicion of assault and obstructing a public servant.

Murray State athletic director Allen Ward said football coach Matt Griffin won`t be returning next season.

Fresno State will be without the nation`s leading rusher, Ryan Mathews, for Saturday`s game against Louisiana Tech. Mathews sustained a concussion last week against Nevada.
