Oklahoma had its first game postponement of the season last week when their game against West Virginia was pushed back two weeks due to COVID-19 issues among the team.
The natural next question is if the Sooners will be able to take the field in their next game set for Saturday night in Norman against Baylor. The answer to that question won’t be able to be fully determined until later in the week, but for now Oklahoma is pressing forward as if they are going to play.
When asked about the likelihood of the Sooners playing this week, head coach Lincoln Riley said that Oklahoma has, “got a shot,” at returning to action.
Riley on the chance of Baylor game being played: "We got a shot. We'll see. I don't know if I'm optimistic, pessimistic or anything. It's kind of what you do right now." #Sooners https://t.co/MzEALIFM7E

Riley didn’t exactly exude a load of confidence in his statements today, but it is hard to blame him given that he said he hadn’t even seen the team in six days prior to this morning. It will be interesting to see what he says Tuesday in his weekly press conference as more information comes to him.
Sooners Wire will provide updates on the status of Saturday’s game as they become available throughout the week.
