• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Latest injury report just dropped and looks like there's some
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: actually decent news in there. The offensive line might get
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: shored up a little bit better going into this weekend.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: So let's take a look at it and see what
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it means this weekend. Before we do that, welcome to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Sooner or Later Sports, part of the Unfair Sports Network.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I'm your boy, Jay. Thank y'all for pulling up to
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the channel. This video is powered by our partners at PrizePix.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: New users play five. Get $ 150 in bonus lineups if
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: you win. All right. Injuries, as we all know for Oklahoma,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: has been the biggest Achilles heel for them this entire year.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Time you look up, offensive linemen are down and everything's
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: falling apart. But it appears that going into this game
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: against South Carolina here at the crib, things have gotten better.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Let's take a look. at the injury report. And we're
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: going to talk through and explain to you why I
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: think this is going to be a big deal, first
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and foremost. This is what you got. It looks like
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: our friends over there at South Carolina, all their players
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: are out. They're out. They don't really have any questionables
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: at all. Seth Smith was a lineman that was supposed
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to see significant time this year. He's still out. I'm
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: assuming that they think he may come back later this year,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: but whatevs. For Oklahoma, of course, the out continues to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: be full. We talked about it on a live show
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday night when the first one dropped, but some
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: pluses did populate. Actually, we'll talk negatives first. Of course,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Fogey and EPL are out. EPL has been out since
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: before Texas in which, you know, the line, you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: was showing some promise. Fogier hurt Kentucky, and I think
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: he's going to be out for another probably week or two.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: He probably won't be back until Ole Miss at home.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: So this week, next week against Florida, I think that
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: will probably be the closest game he'll be back because
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: it was a pretty bad ankle sprain. Elijah Thomas is
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: not going to rock. And then Fred Hinton, who is
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: one of the backup tackles, that's played very sparingly. did
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: get rolled up on or whatnot. But your questionables here,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you got Peyton Bowen and Eli Bowen, both questionable, as
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: well as Jake Mikla. I think Peyton plays. I think
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Eli sits. Because I'm going to be honest, this game
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you don't really need Eli as much. You need him
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: next week against Florida, though. You definitely need him on
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the road against Florida. I think Tristan would be fine.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: You're going to rotate Tristan a lot anyway if Eli played.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: But you're going to need more wide receivers against Tristan.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: floor corners against Florida because of the wide receiver sets
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that they run. And you're gonna need somebody to really
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: be able to tackle well, uh, too. So I think Eli,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: they rest them if needed. And Peyton's definitely playing. I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: think he's even mentioned that he was straight. He's going
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to be able to ball. Jake Michael is the biggest
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: question mark here. And then Xavier Robinson, like he's getting healthier.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: He's on the probable. So you may have another running
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: back on here. Now, granted there's missing names on that
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: bad boy. And when you have missing names, that put
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: a smile on your face. Let me explain what I mean.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Before we continue, shout out to our partners here at PrizePix.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: They got a new thing going on. They're doing packs.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: So they have digital packs, real sports, got Pokemon cards.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: You can rip directly in the main app. You can
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: sell them instantly for cash or ship them home. It's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: super easy. You can check it out. Buy a pack
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: for new users. $ 5 pack. Get $ 25 in bonus packs.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: You can rip your first pack on here. All you
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: got to do is use the code HMA. We're going
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to open up this bronze hoops pack and see what
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: we get. Let's see. So we buy this pack. Pop
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: it right there in the application. The pack pops up
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: into something cool. Got a little music thing going on,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: which is pretty dope. Let's rip it. See what we
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: got here on the hoop side. Hopefully it's something cool.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Good luck. MVP. Kennedy Chandler. So, if I want to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: keep this one, I can hang on to it, add
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: it to my locker, and get it at the crib,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: or I can sell it back and get 13 out
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of it. So... Just depends on what you want to do.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: You check it out. Use the code HMA. Buy your
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: first $ 5 pack. It's $ 25 in bonus packs. So just
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: like buying cards, you can rip them. Check it out.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And as always, have a good time. Okay, so all
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: those missing names, this is what you got. You don't see,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: of course, Fasusi, which he wasn't on there before. Thank goodness.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: So that means that he's Gucci to play this week.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: We are good with Fasusi on the field. So to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: be him, Noah Best, either Mikla or Nitta. Right guard
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: was where my biggest question was going to happen, and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Hito Zayda is no longer on the sheet. That, to me,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: is the biggest plus right there. You got an additional
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: guard who you know can play right there next to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Marion Harris, in which Hito Zayda had a fantastic game
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: against Texas in Red River. So for all of us
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that were a little concerned, well, super concerned because I
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: was super concerned, It ain't going to be that bad.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: These boys should be ready to go. So the line
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: should be a lot more shored up in comparison to last.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And because of that, I actually expect this team to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: go out there and have themselves a really, really good
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: game against South Carolina. They're going to be a challenge.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: The biggest thing is we just need John to not
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: do any type of turnovers. We need John to be calm.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: We need John to just manage the game like he did,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: not only against Texas, but also Mississippi State. I mean,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: he managed the game well against Kentucky until late, and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that's when you had your injured lineman. The line was
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: falling apart. Well, Fasusi's back. He plays very comfortable with Fasusi.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: He plays very comfortable with Noah Best there as well.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I think that left side's going to be shored up.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Like I said, Hito Zayda had his best game. He was...
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: creating some holes on the right side. That is what
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: we need. So I'm pretty stoked to see that health wise,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: this team looks a lot better now in this game
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and at home. Which tells me everything I need to know.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Peyton Bowen should be playing as well. So hopefully we
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: get another interception. That'll be giving us his third for
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the season. He's been balling out. You need him to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: be able to perform. And you're going to need dudes
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that can be able to tackle Lenore Sellers. Lenore Sellers
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: is going to be a pain in everybody's tush. Because
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the dude is a giant. We talked about it on
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the show. He's a big boy. And that's not one
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: player that you want to overestimate. Or think that he
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: ain't a dude. So... In this case, let's see if
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: we can do what we need to do to win
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: a very critical game and get us going for hopefully
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a late season run. Let me know what y'all think.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Hop in the comments. Want to hear y'all's thoughts. When
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I saw the report, I was like, yeah, this is
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: what I want to see. See, this is what I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: want to have. I'm stoked about it. The line is
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the thing that I was the most concerned about, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: now I feel like I'm way more comfortable in my
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: pick in this game than I was before. I think
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State will pull this off again against South Carolina,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: get that two-game winning streak going, not only against South Carolina,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: but also in play this year. Tell me what y'all
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: think yourselves. Shout out to our partners there at PrizePix.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: New users. Play five. Get $ 150 in bonus lines if
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you win. As well as check out the packs. It's
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: pretty dope. Buy your first $ 5 pack. Get $ 25 to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: play around with. We will be back. I'm going to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: watch the report on Friday, see if it's worth talking about.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody else really changes much. I think
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: most of your questionables move into game time. I actually
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: think Micah does play. I think Nita's going to be
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: an option just in case. But I think Micah ends
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: up playing this game. Peyton Bowen, I think, plays. Eli
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: is the one that I have the biggest questions on.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he ends up playing or not.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Is it that big of a deal? No. Like I said,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: we need him against Florida, 100%. He is critical for
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the Florida game. He'll be critical for Ole Miss. He's
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: going to be critical for Texas A & M. All
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: of them have really good wide receivers you have to
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: be prepared for. You need him for those games. This
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: one is really about just keeping sellers under pressure, and
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I think we should be good to go to keep
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: this as a good game, if not a blowout. All right,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: we'll be back later on. We'll talk soon. Peace. Thank you.
