After postponements of three Big 12 games the first weekend of the schedule: TCU and SMU, Oklahoma State and Tulsa and Baylor and Louisiana Tech, there’s definitely reason for pessimism about other games being played.
Oklahoma is slated to start the 2020 season against Missouri State on Saturday at home. The Sooners have chosen not to release football testing data for the season due to ‘competitive reasons’.
Despite that, the Sooners are confident about the game taking place.
“As far as the postponement, I’d be surprised,” Riley said. “But at the same time, we’re all one big test away from having to make tough decisions. That’s every team every single week. I don’t ever want to say it’s impossible, but I fully expect we’ll be out there playing at 6 o’clock on Saturday.”
Missouri State head coach Bobby Petrino was also confident about it on Monday during his game week zoom conference.
“Knock on wood, as of today, we feel pretty good about having most all our guys there at the game,” Petrino said. “But obviously we still got the protocol to go through this week. We were tested early (Monday) morning, be again on Wednesday and again on Friday. But as of right now, I feel pretty good about it.”
A lot can change and Oklahoma and Missouri State have two more rounds of tests to go through before the game on Saturday.
