Oklahoma Sooners DT David Stone questionable for Georgia
What changed on the SEC availability report on Thursday of OU-Georgia week?
For the upcoming Saturday matchup between the Oklahoma Sooners and Georgia Bulldogs, defensive tackle David Stone for the Sooners is listed as questionable for the game. In contrast, linebacker Kip Lewis is considered probable. The injury status of these two players will greatly impact the defensive lineup for each team. The Six players missing for Oklahoma include wide receivers Trell Harris and Jer Michael Carter, offensive lineman Michael Fasusi, linebackers Cole Sullivan and Taylor Heim, and defensive back Michael Boganowski.
The absence of these key players will force the Sooners to rely on players like Elijah Thomas, Mackenzie Alleyne, and Parker Livingstone to step up in their absence. Fasusi's injury loss is particularly significant, as he is the best offensive lineman for the Sooners and the starting left tackle when healthy. Should Stone be able to play, the defensive tackle position will be back to full strength with players such as Bishop Thomas, Trent Wilson, Nigel Smith III, James Carrington, Danny Saili, and Braxton Fely stepping up to fill the void.
However, if he is unable to participate, the Sooners will need to count on players like Reggie Powers III, Owen Heinecke, and James Nesta to cover for him. For Georgia, the absence of four offensive linemen, two outside linebackers, and safety Tyriq Green will significantly weaken their defensive front. Marcus Harrison, Chase Linton, Amaris Williams, and Nate Frazier are among the players who will not be available against the Sooners.
Despite the injuries, star running back Nate Frazier, wide receiver Isiah Cannon, and defensive back Justice Fitzpatrick remain questionable for the Bulldogs.
