Oklahoma using embarrassing South Carolina loss as fuel on Saturday
The Oklahoma Sooners and the South Carolina Gamecocks will face off for the third straight season. The Gamecocks are one of the few teams the Sooners have faced every season since joining the SEC. Oklahoma won last season's matchup in Columbia, 26-7. However, the Gamecocks dominated the first matchup in Norman, 35-9. It was a disastrous game, as the Sooners turned the ball over four times, including on their first three possessions. Two of those turnovers led to Gamecock defensive touchdowns. Oklahoma quarterback Michael Hawkins was then benched and replaced by Jackson Arnold. Oklahoma EDGE Adepoju Adebawore said they will use that performance as fuel this weekend. "Ultimately, every single week we are trying to go 1-0," Adebawore said via SoonerScoop. "We don't forget the things that happened. Last time they came here, it was pretty embarrassing. We all took that and felt that. We grew from it and are continuing to grow throughout the week. We definitely are going to come out with a chip on our shoulder like we do every week." Oklahoma will have an opportunity to show how much it has grown since that difficult loss in Norman. The Sooners' defensive performance will be especially important

Brent Venables praises South Carolina's Shane Beamer ahead of matchup
The South Carolina Gamecocks arrive in Norman on Saturday riding a two-game winning streak. The Oklahoma Sooners , meanwhile, are coming off a win but haven't won back-to-back games this season. South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer is a former Sooner assistant and entered the season on the hot seat. The Gamecocks started the year 2-0, before losing three straight games. Many wondered if that marked the end of Beamer's time at South Carolina, but the Gamecocks beat the Florida Gators and Tennessee Volunteers , both ranked teams, which has renewed optimism for the program. Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables praised Beamer for the job the staff has done to turn them around. "As hot a team in our conference right now as there is in South Carolina," Venables said. "Coach Beamer and their team, their staff have done a fantastic job." South Carolina's recent surge makes Saturday's matchup a significant test for Oklahoma as the Sooners look to build consistency. Wins over Florida and Tennessee have given the Gamecocks momentum, and they'll carry that confidence to Norman. Oklahoma will need to match that intensity early, avoid giving South Carolina opportunities to seize control and take advantage of playing at

How does ESPN predict Oklahoma's remaining schedule after win?
The Oklahoma Sooners put themselves back in the win column Saturday afternoon, beating Mississippi State 23-15 in Starkville. It may have just been a one-score win for the Sooners, but they played a much better game than the score indicated. Especially on offense. Though the score was much closer than it should have been, it was the third game in a row the Sooners put something positive on tape on offense. John Mateer completed 76% of his passes for 283 yards and two touchdowns and should have been credited with another touchdown on a nice throw to Rocky Beers in the end zone after the ball was knocked loose well after the play. It may be too little too late for Oklahoma after losses to Michigan, Georgia, and Kentucky, but if they run the table, the Sooners could put themselves in position to make the SEC title game or the College Football Playoff. With five games to go, the Sooners have a chance to finish the season strong but will have to keep up the same level of offensive consistency. Each week, we look at how ESPN's matchup predictor projects each game on the Oklahoma Sooners' schedule. Here's how ESPN

Oklahoma vs. South Carolina: Initial injury report for Week 9
The Oklahoma Sooners have had lengthy availability reports for much of the season, but the Wednesday night report ahead of their game against South Carolina is long. Fifteen players are listed on the initial injury update; eight players are already ruled out for Week 9. On offense, key players Ryan Fodje and Eddy Pierre-Louis aren't close to returning and were ruled out. However, guard Heath Ozaeta could make his first appearance since the win over Texas. Ozaeta was listed as probable. If he's able to play, he provides Oklahoma a valuable piece to its interior offensive line rotation. If he's able to play, it's likely Ozaeta slides back into the starting lineup, though he could platoon with Peyton Joseph, who has had ups and downs for the Sooners the last two weeks. The other player to watch on the offensive line is center Jake Maikkula. Maikkula was injured in the win over Mississippi State and was replaced by Caleb Nitta. Nitta played well, and Oklahoma will need him again this week against the Gamecocks if Maikkula can't play. If Nitta gets the start, it would be the eighth straight game the Oklahoma Sooners have used a new starting offensive line

Michael Fasusi explains why he suited up this year despite being out
The Oklahoma Sooners got a key road win on Saturday against the Mississippi State Bulldogs . This marked the Sooners' first road win of the season. A big reason for the win was a newfound run game. The Sooners rushed for 184 yards, despite averaging 92 yards heading into the game. A big reason for that success was likely the return of star left tackle Michael Fasusi. He has been battling a shoulder injury since this offseason. He played the first game against the University of Texas at El Paso Miners but didn't play the full game because of the injury. Fasusi then missed the next five games. Despite being out all of those games, Fasusi still dressed out and participated in warmups. He explained that decision after the game. "It was really just to energize the guys, you feel me?" Fasusi said via SoonerScoop. "Getting to be able to do warm-ups with the guys, I'm trying to get some sweat in too. Y'all can't enjoy this by yourselves. Just being with the guys, energizing my guys up. Oh, and the best part: if I wasn't dressed out, I would have been headbutting the guys, you feel me?" Fasusi's presence
