Outside linebacker Kip Lewis emerged as OU’s leading scorer in a 23-21 road win over ‘Bama. Venables masterfully delayed Lewis’ blitzes to stifle Alabama’s air attack.

Thomas, however, has been praised for his motor skills and tenacity off the edge. He previously did the damage against another Iron Bowl team earlier this year in Auburn.

Thomas re-entering the mess room gives OU and Venables a third rush. Taylor Wayne is another option that has hurt Alabama’s offensive line at the November meeting.

The 6-foot-2, 249-pounder leads OU with 6.5 sacks. Thomas looks poised to add to Oklahoma’s sack total on Friday in Norman. Oklahoma enters as a higher seed at No. 8 compared to ‘Bama.
