NORMAN — Oklahoma defensive back Gentry Williams was a new addition to the SEC availability report released Thursday. Williams went from being not included on the report Wednesday, meaning he was available, to being listed as doubtful on Thursday.

No. 4 Alabama stopped short of calling Saturday’s showdown against No. 11 Oklahoma a revenge game, but the Crimson Tide admit they haven't forgotten last year’s outcome. The Sooners beat the Tide 24-3 in Norman,

Courtland Guillory doesn't seem to play like a true freshman, on the contrary, he gives Oklahoma a plethora of options on defense as they head to Tuscaloosa.

If the season ended this week, the Sooners would be the first team omitted from the playoff. OU's two losses are to No. 7 Mississippi at home and No. 10 Texas at a neutral site. Its best wins are over No. 18 Michigan at home and No. 23 Tennessee on the road.

OU football could be without two of its starting defensive linemen on Saturday at Alabama. Two Alabama defensive starters were listed on the report.

Jam Miller , Daniel Hill and the rest of the Alabama run game have averaged 3.5 yards per touch in 2025, which is the lowest for a Crimson Tide team since 1995, when Dennis Riddle led a rushing offense that averaged 2.7 yards per carry.
