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. But as good as they've been, this will be the best offense they have faced so far this season. 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.

This week we welcome South Carolina beat writer Wes Mitchell to the show from our GamecockCentral.com On3 site. South Carolina has had a disappointing season up to this point and the Sooners will face a banged up offensive line with a recently fired OL coach. Will the Sooners step back up on defense after showing tackling issues for the first time all season against Texas? We'll hear from Brent Venables and Ben Arbuckle on the need for the Sooners to figure out how to win one possession games down the stretch of this season. Otherwise, that SEC schedule ahead of them is going to be rough. One player who we felt needed a shout out this week is Taylor Wein, who is putting together a really nice season on defense.

The first injury report is out for OU-Texas and John Mateer is listed as questionable. Eddie and George breakdown what that means and where things head next. But players are used to this being a war regardless of who starts under center for the Sooners. Kobie McKinzie and Jaren Kanak talk about the uniqueness of this rivalry and what it's like to deal with such huge momentum swings during the Red River Rivalry. Javonnie Gibson has his first taste of the rivalry and everyone is wondering if he can step up and make an impact. The same can be said about Eli Bowen, who returned to action last week, but has been in this game and played well before. It's the biggest game of the year and maybe the biggest of the Brent Venables era considering where this team is sitting and where it has come from. It's OU-Texas. Gameday Preview.
