OU football will likely be down a starting offensive lineman vs LSU

NORMAN — OU could be without its starting center Saturday against LSU.

Offensive lineman Jake Maikkula was downgraded from questionable to doubtful on Thursday's SEC availability report. The Sooners' depth at center was already slim after Troy Everett's season-ending knee injury earlier this season.

Defensive end R Mason Thomas was listed as out and will miss his third consecutive game. He injured himself during a 71-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown in the first quarter of OU's win over Tennessee on Nov. 1.

Cornerback Gentry Williams was also listed as out. He hasn't played since injuring his shoulder against South Carolina.

Here is the full report:
