Oklahoma vs South Carolina news & key players
Oklahoma Sooners team news
On the other side, Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer has thrown for 1,417 yards with 6 touchdowns and 6 interceptions, completing 64.2% of his attempts. He's coming off a rough three-interception outing and has struggled when under duress. The Sooners average 389 yards and 29.2 points per game (70th and 66th nationally), with most of their production coming through the air. Isaiah Sategna leads the receiving corps with 420 yards and 3 TDs, while Deion Burks adds 339 yards and 2 scores. The rushing attack has been less reliable, with Tory Blaylock leading the backfield at 292 yards and 3 TDs on 4.3 yards per carry.
Defensively, Oklahoma has been a fortress. The Sooners rank first in total defense (211.2 YPG), second in scoring defense (9.8 PPG), and are among the SEC’s elite in both rushing and passing yards allowed. Opponents are held to just 3.7 yards per play, with the pass rush accounting for 16 sacks, led by Taylor Wein (3.5) and R. Mason Thomas (4). The secondary has been suffocating, allowing only 126.3 passing yards per game and limiting third-down conversions to 25.6%, the SEC’s third-best mark. Even with their defensive dominance, Oklahoma has struggled with turnovers (-7) and penalties (52.3 yards per game), which could be areas for South Carolina to exploit if they can generate rhythm offensively.
South Carolina Gamecocks team news
Quarterback LaNorris Sellers has shown flashes of dual-threat upside for South Carolina, throwing for 1,010 yards with 4 touchdowns against 2 picks while chipping in 117 rushing yards and a score. He’s completing 64.0% of his passes and averaging a robust 10.2 yards per attempt, yet the Gamecocks offense continues to sputter, ranking a disappointing 104th in scoring at just 22.3 points per game. The offensive line has been porous, giving up 3.6 sacks per contest, and the ground game remains erratic, averaging only 115.3 yards per outing (112th nationally). Rahsul Faison has been the team’s most reliable back with 231 yards and 3 scores, while freshman Matthew Fuller has flashed big-play potential, highlighted by an 83-yard touchdown run versus LSU.
The receiving corps has been a rare bright spot, with Vandrevius Jacobs (341 yards, 2 TDs) and Nyck Harbor (256 yards, 1 TD) providing the Gamecocks with vertical weapons. South Carolina averages 194.7 passing yards per game, but sustaining drives has been a struggle, with red-zone efficiency near the bottom nationally. Third-down conversions sit at a paltry 35.9%, time of possession is just 27:08 per game, and penalties are a chronic issue, costing 68.7 yards per contest (116th in FBS). Despite Sellers’ athleticism and occasional explosive plays, the offense has yet to consistently click against SEC competition.
