The Oklahoma Sooners are preparing for their SEC opener against the Tennessee Volunteers with a mixed injury report. Key wide receivers Nic Anderson and Andrel Anthony are listed as probable, providing potential boosts to the offense, although Jalil Farooq and Jayden Gibson are confirmed out. Oklahoma's defensive roster also faces challenges with Gentry Williams and Geirean Hatchett unavailable, while linebacker Dasan McCullough is doubtful. Tennessee, on the other hand, will miss three players, including two defensive backs, as they look to maintain their undefeated status. The game marks a significant occasion as former Oklahoma quarterback Josh Heupel returns as the head coach of the Volunteers, adding to the matchup's intrigue. Both teams aim to make a strong statement in this highly anticipated clash.
