Oklahoma got great news on Thursday’s SEC Availability Report.
Receivers Jalil Farooq and Deion Burks have both been upgraded from questionable to probable for this week’s battle with No. 24 Missouri.
Farooq has been out of the lineup since Week 1, where he virtually played just one drive, and Burks hasn’t seen the field since OU’s Week 4 loss to Tennessee.
Running back Jovantae Barnes maintained his status as questionable for Saturday’s game with the Tigers.
Barnes rushed for 203 yards and three scores last Saturday against Maine, and would be a key piece of Oklahoma’s offensive game plan against the Tigers on Saturday night if he’s able to take the field.
Should Barnes be unable to go, the Sooners will turn to true freshman Taylor Tatum, who has carried the ball 43 times for 239 yards and three scores this year, and Gavin Sawchuk, who was listed as questionable on Thursday’s report.
Right tackle Michael Tarquin was also listed as questionable, and reserve center Joshua Bates was downgraded to doubtful, and OU tackles Jacob Sexton and Jake Taylor have already been ruled out of the trip to Columbia, MO.
Defensive end Ethan Downs was listed as probable on Wednesday’s report, but he was removed altogether indicating that he’ll be available to play Saturday.
Missouri’s injury situation isn’t any more clear than on Wednesday.
Starting quarterback Brady Cook is still questionable as the Tigers monitor a wrist injury that saw Cook exit their last game against Alabama.
Missouri leading rusher Nate Noel is also still questionable, which would be another major blow to Eli Drinkwitz’ offense.
Welcome to Missouri Tigers On SI’s “Extra Point,” a video series featuring the site’s Missouri beat writers. Multiple times a week, the writers provide analysis on a topic concerning the Tigers or the landscape of college sports.
Watch the video above as MissouriOnSI lead reporter Joey Van Zummeren breaks down what head coach Eli Drinkwitz said will be the deciding factor for the Tigers’ Week 11 matchup with Oklahoma and why Missouri has struggled so much in that area.
The No. 24 Missouri Tigers will be looking for a statement win to open up the final quarter of the 2024 season. After a bye week in Week 10, the Tigers need a win over Oklahoma after going 1-2 in SEC play in October.
Health will be the biggest question for Missouri, with starting quarterback Brady Cook, leading rusher Nate Noel and Mookie Cooper all dealing with injuries. Even if those three can go though, the Tigers’ offense has struggled to find rhythm all season long.
There’s been stretches where the Missouri offense has been effective. It led a 15-point comeback in the final quarter to secure a win over Auburn in Week 8. It scored 30 over Vanderbilt in Week 4, a feat only one other SEC team (Alabama) has done.
But it has yet to be the explosive unit it was projected to be ahead of the start of the season. It will need to have one of its best game of the season against Oklahoma for the Tigers to win the first matchup of the rivalry in the SEC.
