OU left tackle Michael Fasusi named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week; Sooners host Ole Miss Saturday

NORMAN - University of Oklahoma sophomore left tackle Michael Fasusi has been named the Southeastern Conference's Offensive Lineman of the Week, according to a university athletics release issued Monday, Nov. 9.

The award follows OU's 23-7 win at Florida on Saturday. Fasusi, of Lewisville, Texas, played every offensive snap and allowed no pressures or sacks on 38 pass-blocking plays, the release says, citing an 81.9 pass-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus.

OU put up 351 yards and converted 10 of 18 third downs, a season high. The line also led a 20-play, 89-yard touchdown drive that took 12:45 off the clock, which the release calls the longest verified drive by time in program history.

It is Fasusi's first SEC weekly award and OU's sixth this season, according to the release.

Oklahoma (5-4, 3-3 SEC) hosts Ole Miss (6-3, 4-3 SEC) on Saturday, Nov. 14, at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is 3:15 p.m. CT on SEC Network.
