Notes

— With Jake Maikkula, Heath Ozaeta, Troy Everett, Jacob Sexton and Jake Taylor out, the Sooners really couldn’t afford additional injuries. Febechi Nwaiwu, Ryan Fodje, Derek Simmons, Eddy Pierre-Louis and Michael Fasusi played all 68 snaps on the offensive line.

— After playing just three snaps against Alabama, Tory Blaylock led the backfield with 43 snaps. That’s his biggest snap count since the Texas game and the third most snaps he’s played this season.

But it’s clear that Blaylock and Robinson are battling through injuries. The Sooners even turned to Jaydn Ott in the fourth quarter. Ott saw his first snaps since the South Carolina game.

— LSU marked the third straight game that Jayden Jackson has played fewer than 20 snaps. He’s been battling through a foot injury for several weeks.
