Oklahoma desperately missed the presence of Ronnie Perkins and Rhamondre Stevenson in the 2019 Peach Bowl. The Sooners were also missing Trejan Bridges.
The three players were suspended for the game due to a failed drug test at the end of the season. Lincoln Riley has been asked about the three’s suspension as an appeal process has been going on, but no update has been provided all offseason.
That hasn’t changed just days before the first game.
“The three, guys that were previously out, no new update on that right now, could come at any point but certainly no update on that right now,” Riley told the media on Tuesday during a zoom conference call.
As it stands today, the three would miss ’50 percent of competition’ dating back to the one game they missed in 2019 according to NCAA legislation. Oklahoma appealed the suspensions, but according to Riley, the Sooners have yet to find out a final answer to that appeal.
Oklahoma will kickoff the 2020 season on Saturday against Missouri State at 6 p.m. CT against Missouri State at home.
