U40: We are so back and so are the Sooners

Wait...Oklahoma players football this week? That's right, the first Unofficial 40 of the 2026 football season has arrived! Aren't you excited? Good! Unfortunately for you though, we start off on the injury front with some updates on a couple key starters on the offensive side of the ball. Josh is back from a recruiting trip for the ages where he saw a couple five-stars do their thing over in Kentucky. Jumping back to the world of college football, what is the latest on Danny Saili? Honestly, Eddie might be eligible to play at this point. Lloyd Avant might be an even bigger star than expected, at least that's what George says. On the defense, Reggie Powers might be a name offensive coordinators hear in their nightmares. Finally, we cap things off with a little Home Alone talk(yes, the Christmas movie) and much more on this edition of the Unofficial 40 Podcast. 0:00 - Welcome back to the Unofficial40!
