Oklahoma vs Texas: Key players listed on Wednesday Availability report

The Oklahoma Sooners' Wednesday evening availability report provides insight into the players who will be out for the upcoming Red River Showdown against the Texas Longhorns. Among the notable omissions is Michael Fasusi, the starting left tackle who missed the last three games due to a shoulder injury. He is listed as doubtful for the coming game.

Additionally, Eddy Pierre-Louis, the starting left guard, is also questionable, having been listed as such since Saturday. This further adds to the uncertainty surrounding Oklahoma's offensive line. The report also highlights other players missing from the team's lineup, including Xavier Robinson and Jacobe Johnson. Johnson suffered an injury during the loss to Georgia.

The reason for Robinson's unavailability is unclear, as he did not receive much playing time against Michigan. Moreover, the report mentions reserve backup tight end Trynae Washington and backup offensive lineman Fred Hinton as unavailable for the game. Washington has been a key player in Oklahoma's short-yardage formations, often lining up as a fullback.

The article goes on to list several other players to keep an eye on, including linebacker Cole Sullivan, wide receiver Jer Michael Carter, safety Michael Boganowski, and tight end Jack Van Dorselaer. The Sooners' performance against Texas is a crucial factor in their College Football Playoff hopes, with a recent 1-3 record against their rivals.

The offensive line's performance has been particularly concerning, with Oklahoma failing to score a touchdown against Texas since 2023. With key offensive line and tight end players missing, the Sooners' chances of success in the upcoming game appear dim.
