Keontez Lewis logged one snap after a three-game absence. Also, Jacob Jordan made his first appearance in an SEC game this season.

— Four of the starting five offensive linemen played every snap. The only one that didn’t was Ryan Fodje.

Derek Simmons played a handful of snaps in his first action since South Carolina.

— With Jayden Jackson limited due to injury, the Sooners leaned more on David Stone and Gracen Halton. Markus Strong played nine snaps, near his typical average.
