It’s no secret that Oklahoma is hoping and expecting more than 20 players are back for the Sooners first Big 12 contest of the year on Saturday.
Lincoln Riley was missing that amount of players on his depth chart for the 48-0 win over FCS Missouri State in the opener. Oklahoma has elected not to share testing data during the season, but the Sooners can’t do anything whenever players are missing during warm-ups.
Amongst those missing were starting running back T.J. Pledger, starting left tackle Anton Harrison and H-back Brayden Willis. Each of those three tweeted out indications that they will be available for Oklahoma’s home opener on Saturday against Kansas State.

Lincoln Riley did not indicate on Monday during the Big 12 teleconference how many players have returned since the Missouri State game and how many he expects out.
Oklahoma and Kansas State are scheduled to kickoff at 11 a.m. CT in Norman, Oklahoma.
