Oklahoma State will be without starting quarterback Hauss Hejny due to foot surgery, but linebacker Wendell Gregory, despite recent legal issues, is expected to play against Oregon. Oregon is hopeful to have cornerback Theran Johnson back from a knee injury, though receiver Dillon Gresham will remain out and backup guard Kawika Rogers is questionable. BYU has added converted safety Preston Rex to the running back depth chart after injuries in camp, aiming to bolster their backfield behind starters LJ Martin and Sione Moa. Arkansas defensive tackle David Oke continues to recover from a knee injury and is out for a second straight game, while freshman wide receiver Antonio Jordan faces a longer recovery due to a high-ankle sprain.
