Key Sooners on offense trending toward playing vs. Mississippi State
A pair of Oklahoma Sooners were upgraded to probable on Thursday night's SEC availability report.
The Oklahoma Sooners appear to be in a favorable position with several key players trending toward playing in Saturday's game against Mississippi State. Wide receiver Parker Livingstone and running back Tory Blaylock have both been moved to probable status, with Blaylock delivering an impressive performance against Alabama last month.
Platoon running backs Lloyd Avant and Jonathan Hatton have helped bolster the Sooners' ground game. Meanwhile, Elijah Thomas' availability remains uncertain, potentially leading to Manny Choice and Isaiah Sategna starting on the outside. Left tackle Michael Fasusi remains questionable, with Peyton Joseph ready to step in if necessary, though this would leave right guard vacant.
Cornerback Eli Bowen, who has been sidelined since a practice injury, could return and provide valuable speed and coverage. For Mississippi State, quarterback Kamario Taylor and running back Fluff Bothwell remain questionable, and their absence would greatly aid the Sooners' chances of securing a win.
