NORMAN — OU starting offensive linemen Jake Maikkula, Febechi Nwaiwu and Michael Fasusi were all questionable to play earlier in the week, but they all gutted it out against Auburn. Starting defensive end Marvin Jones Jr. also played after being questionable days prior.

Injured cornerback Eli Bowen and receiver Javonnie Gibson, who have yet to debut this season, still didn’t play Saturday, but they warmed up and looked ever closer to a return. It wouldn’t surprise to see them after the bye week versus Kent State.

During the game, OU linebacker Owen Heinecke cut his hand open and had to go to the locker room for stitches and a cast, but the Bishop Kelley product returned to the game with his left hand covered.
