Derek Simmons exits Red River Rivalry in 1st quarter
The Sooners were already thin at the spot. With Simmons sidelined, Luke Baklenko, the third stringer, filled in at right tackle on Saturday. Logan Howland is Simmon's usual backup, but Howland was not available because of an injury of his own. Beyond Baklenko, the Sooners don't have any other healthy tackle with experience or even listed on the depth chart.
