GAME LOG

Co-starter with Sawchuk
Barnes is listed as a co-starter for the Sooners' game Friday against Temple, according to their X account.
Impact
Despite foot problems limiting Barnes during 2023 and Gavin Sawchuk excelling then, the former could start at running back Friday. Excelling during his freshman year has helped the junior maintain a co-starter role at worst.

Finally healthy again
Barnes is healthy again before Oklahoma's 2024 season, Mason Young of The Tulsa World reports.
Impact
Recurring foot problems limited Barnes during his 2023 season, one in which Gavin Sawchuk established himself as Oklahoma's primary option at running back. Before then was 2022, a year during which Barnes logged 116 carries for 519 yards (4.5 averaged per carry) and five touchdowns. Barnes will look to replicate more of his 2024 output, though Sawchuk's emergence will not make it any easier for the former.

Returns after lengthy absence
Barnes rushed five times for 17 yards in Saturday's 38-33 loss to Kansas.
Impact
Barnes had not played since Week 3 heading into Saturday's game at Kansas and made his return to the field. He rushed five times for 17 yards, which is not great production, but it was good for him to get back on the field.

Possibly available in second half
Barnes (foot) could possibly be available during the second half of Oklahoma's 2023 season, Eli Lederman of Sellout Crowd reports.
Impact
Because of his foot injury, Barnes has not been active since Week 3, having gone three weeks without playing. However, Sooners head coach Brent Venables did not rule out the possibility of Barnes being available in the second half of their 2023 season. If so, that could be great for the Sooners, who benefited from his 122 rushing yards and one touchdown logged during September.
