Oklahoma's Brent Venables gives an update on star OT Michael Fasusi
Brent Venables says Michael Fasusi has shown improvement while Oklahoma takes a long-term approach to his recovery.
The Oklahoma Sooners suffered a 41-13 defeat to the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday, with their offensive unit struggling to move the ball. Quarterback-led drives were sporadic, and the offense failed to make significant gains on the ground, accumulating only 65 yards on 35 carries. Despite the loss, head coach Brent Venables provided some encouraging news regarding star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi, who has been sidelined with a shoulder injury since the start of the season.
Venables disclosed that recent medical scans have shown Fasusi displaying improvement since his last injury, indicating a promising outlook for his recovery. While there is no definitive timeline for Fasusi's return, this development presents a positive turn for an offensive line that has faced numerous injuries and lineup changes throughout the season.
The Sooners managed a paltry 296 total yards against Georgia and averaged a mere 1.9 yards per carry, reinforcing the necessity for Fasusi's recovery to bolster their offensive consistency.
