Eric Singleton, Michael Fasusi injury update: Auburn vs. Oklahoma Wednesday availability report revealed

Auburn vs. Oklahoma is the first conference game of the season for both the Tigers and the Sooners. That means the release of the first availability reports of the year this week for them in the SEC.

The SEC Availability Report was released on Wednesday night, with just two games listed on it for Saturday with No. 22 Auburn vs. No. 11 Oklahoma and South Carolina vs. No. 23 Missouri before league play really starts next weekend in the Southeastern Conference. Further updates will release on Thursday and Friday respectively going into the kickoffs this weekend in Norman and Columbia, respectively.

With that, here’s how the initial availability report reads for the Tigers and Sooners. Wednesday marked the first injury report reveal of the week.

Coming into the season, this was viewed as a massive game as far as the futures of Hugh Freeze at Auburn and Brent Venables at Oklahoma. However, three weeks into the season, while it’s still important for a lot of seasons, it’s not necessarily as much of one when it comes to the hot seat. That’s with the Tigers and Sooners both sitting at 3-0, and each having a big non-conference win on those undefeated records with Auburn having opened their season with a two-score win at Baylor and Oklahoma winning by eleven in week two over Michigan. Still, while each of their seasons currently look more optimistic than before, someone is leaving Memorial Stadium with their first loss, and a conference loss at that, on Saturday evening.

The other major storyline here is obviously that of the quarterbacks. QB Jackson Arnold began his collegiate career in Norman, being their starting quarterback for a time last season in struggling as part of the offense at OU. That led to his transfer this offseason as one of the top quarterbacks in the portal, with him committing in conference to the Tigers. In turn, the Sooners went and got their own highly-rated transfer quarterback in QB John Mateer from Washington State. Now, with both having played well so far this season, Arnold (231 overall yards per game, eight total touchdowns) and Mateer (368.4 overall yards per game, nine total touchdowns) will match up with one another with the latter having taken the former’s place.

Auburn and Oklahoma have each gotten through their non-conference being undefeated at 3-0. However, one will get out of the weekend with an opening win in conference play to get to 4-0.
