Oklahoma Sooners

DALLAS — As expected, Oklahoma will be without sophomore safety Billy Bowman on Saturday for the Red River Rivalry.

According to AllSooners multimedia director Josh Callaway, who’s on the field for pregame warmups, Bowman will miss the Texas game after suffering an injury in the first quarter last week at TCU.

Bowman isn't dressed for the game or warming up with the rest of his group but is wearing his jersey and shorts and sitting on sideline.

Callaway also spotted OU quarterback Dillon Gabriel on the field for pregame warmups.

Gabriel came out in warmups, ran around to get loose and threw the football with backup quarterback Davis Beville.

Running back Marcus Major, who didn’t travel to Fort Worth last week for what coach Brent Venables called an injury, is going through pregame warmups in Dallas.

Left tackle Wanya Morris hasn't begun warming up yet (offensive linemen usually go last), but he's apparently recovered well after a left shoulder injury last week.

Also, safety Damond Harmon, who suffered a neck/back injury last week at TCU, is on the field for pregame warmups although he's not expected to be able to play for a while.

AllSooners has four reporters at the Cotton Bowl and will provide updates as they become available.

OU and Texas, both 3-2, kick off at 11 a.m. The game will be carried by ABC.
