Okay guys, it's time we put the Michigan game in the past. With New Mexico coming to Norman on Saturday, the Sooners better be ready for a punch. With Trell Harris and multiple others dealing with some injuries, somebody needs to step up. Can Mackenzie Alleyne produce even more than what we saw in Ann Arbor? Can the offensive line hold on until Michael Fasusi returns? How does the defense clean up some of the sloppiness we saw against the Wolverines? On3's Ari Wasserman joins us to talk all things OU, and whether or not this team can still meet high expectations. All that and more on this edition of the Gameday Preview.

On this week's Gameday Preview, we talk with AL.com's Nick Kelly about the perception around the Alabama program coming into Norman for the first round of the College Football Playoff. Did Alabama just play a terrible game at home against Oklahoma? Are they just coming to Norman to assert their dominance and win by not turning the ball over so much? And what about the special teams in this one? The Sooners dominated that phase of the game in Tuscaloosa. And the defense has been turning teams over on a regular basis since the Tennessee game. Why would they stop now. You'll hear from Brent Venables and Ben Arbuckle break down the matchup with the Crimson Tide and we hear about OU's faith in John Mateer when it matters most. This offensive line has been doing more than getting by even though they are starting two true freshmen. It's our final breakdown of the matchup we're all ready to see Friday night on Owen Field.

This week, we talk with The Advocate's Wilson Alexander to get his take on what version of LSU is headed to Norman this weekend. Will they be more focused on their next head coach? Could Lane Kiffin be their coach by kickoff on Saturday? And what's gone wrong and is going wrong with this team right now. On Oklahoma's side, it's senior night for a lot of players who have helped Brent Venables turn this defense into one of the best in recent memory. Kendal Daniels is already emotional about it. Much like Damonic Williams, Gracen Halton and others, this group of seniors has made the defense dominant once again. Get Brent Venables and Ben Arbuckles' takes on LSU and hear the head coach's appreciation for what Team 131 has done for this program moving forward.

This week we chatted with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Eli Hoff about a dangerous team coming to Norman. Missouri has one of the best defenses in the SEC and an offense that will be unique to the Sooners. Running back Ahmad Hardy is a weapon. Hoff gives us a look inside Missouri's approach. The injury report was pretty clean on Wednesday night. But the Sooners have to decide whether to play R Mason Thomas or let him get healthy and allow some youngsters like Danny Okoye to help provide key depth. Kobie McKinzie talks about the challenges of facing Hardy while everyone is still talking about getting this offense on track and making the OU football team more complete behind John Mateer.

OU heads to Tennessee for a special "Dark Mode" night game. It's special because both teams and both fan bases are on the edge. On the edge of the playoff conversation, on the edge of sinking, on the edge of swimming. OU's offense faces a team that hasn't played a lot of defense. Josh Heupel's offense is humming and OU's defense is coming off their toughest outing of the year against Ole Miss. Can John Mateer get the offense out of a funk. And can he get himself out of one as well. It will be a wild atmosphere. It's the centerpiece of ESPN/ABCs national coverage Saturday night. Brent Hubbs from VolQuest joins us to break things down from The Volunteers' side of things. And we bring you the latest inside practice from the offense and the defense. Punches are going to be thrown. Who will respond the best when they get knocked down? It's OU-UT in Knoxville. And it's another Gameday Preview!

Well, since the Unofficial 40 wrapped, news broke that starting tackle Derek Simmons suffered a concussion in practice and was not expected to play against Ole Miss. So we start out the day with the injury report. Without Simmons, what happens to the offensive line? One answer is in the defense.

We talk with the Clarion Ledger's Sam Hutchens, who is well known in these parts as a former Oklahoma State beat writer along with his twin brother Ben. Now he's in Mississippi covering Ole Miss and we caught up with him to preview the Rebels on this week's Gameday Preview. Get the info you need on Ole Miss and Oklahoma's matchup on this episode.
