    How to watch Oklahoma vs. Missouri

    Sakege Posted on

    Oklahoma’s final non-conference game allowed the Sooners to gain some momentum heading into their final three Southeastern Conference matchups.

    UNED sent from Maine 59-14 on Saturday, dodging rain and serious injuries, which is the best any team can ask for when going out to play in FCS competition.

    running back Jovantae Barnes He continued where he left off at Oxford.rushing for 203 yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries.

    Barnes will be a big part of Oklahoma’s game plan this week as OU renews hostilities with old Big 8 foe Missouri at 6:45 p.m. Saturday on SEC Network.

    Against Maine, Barnes became the first OU running back this year to cross the 100-yard mark, and receiver JJ Hester became the first Sooners pass catcher to surpass 100 yards passing in 2024.

    Hester successfully performed a wrestling drill with quarterback Jackson Arnold to produce a 90-yard touchdown reception against Maine, and his big day came at the right time.

    This weekend’s trip to Columbia will serve as a reunion for Hester as he began his college career at Missouri before transferring to Oklahoma.

    Another big day could help Arnold have another strong performance in his second road start.

    After getting into a rhythm against Ole Miss, Arnold completed 15 of 21 passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns against Maine while also rushing for 45 yards and another score on nine carries.

    Defensively, OU recovered from a tough first drive for another solid performance.

    Oklahoma held the Black Bears to 251 yards and the Sooners ended their defensive turnover drought.

    Hester forced the only turnover against Ole Miss, meaning the defense itself had not returned the ball to the offense since intercepting Quinn Ewers in the Cotton Bowl.

    Safety Robert Spears-Jennings changed that with a forced fumble in the third quarter, and true freshman Reggie Powers had an interception in the fourth quarter until it was nullified by a penalty elsewhere on the play.

    Hester won’t be the only face with friends in both locker rooms on Saturday.

    Missouri wide receiver Theo Wease began his career at Oklahoma, as did offensive lineman Cayden Green.

    Wease is in his second season with the Tigers, and Green is moving into his first year in Columbia after his controversial transfer last offseason.

    Missouri hopes to get quarterback Brady Cook back for game against Sooners; Otherwise, the Tigers will be forced to turn to Drew Pyne again to try to help move the ball.

    Despite being inactive on a bye last week, the Tigers dropped out of the AP Top 25. Their last outing was a 34-0 loss to No. 11 Alabama.

    A win for OU would be its sixth of the season, making Sooners Bowl eligible after a disastrous start in the SEC.
