Missouri quarterback Beau Pribula will likely start as the No. 22 Tigers face No. 8 Oklahoma in Norman, according to a report by ESPN's Pete Thamel. His return comes just four weeks after suffering a dislocated left ankle.

He was reportedly cleared but Missouri's coaching staff wanted to see a successful “Fast Friday” practice. Pribula ankle evidently responded well and he'll be back under center.
The Penn State transfer was off to a strong start before the injury at Vanderbilt, completing nearly 70% of his passes and emerging as an effective dual-threat option. He has thrown 11 touchdowns with seven interceptions and added five rushing scores.
While Pribula was out, Matt Zollers stepped in for three games and struggled to find consistency. Now with the Tigers' starter available, Missouri enters one of its toughest road tests of the season. The Sooners are coming off an upset over Alabama and have momentum on their side in a major way.
