Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables leaves no doubt on how he feels about Tennessee's offensive line after Sooners' win over Vols
Tennessee Vols quarterback Joey Aguilar had only been sacked eight times going into Saturday night's game against the Oklahoma Sooners. Only one of those eight sacks came in Neyland Stadium (against the Georgia Bulldogs).
Here's what to know on Tennessee football's "dark mode" uniform the Vols are wearing against No. 18 Oklahoma on Saturday.
Oklahoma is already down Kobie McKinzie, who injured his hamstring last week, and now Thomas. The Sooners will rely on Taylor Wein, Marvin Jones Jr., Danny Okoye, and Adepoju Adebawore to carry the load at defensive end in Thomas' absence.
Oklahoma will enter the game fresh off a bye week. The Sooners beat Tennessee in Knoxville on Saturday, moving to 7-2 on the season, 3-2 in SEC play. Last year, OU upset Alabama in Norman, in a game where the Crimson Tide’s offense looked completely stagnant.
