Oklahoma football coach Brent Venables confirmed injuries to linebacker Kip Lewis and offensive lineman Michael Fasusi following the team's 17-10 loss to Michigan. Lewis exited the contest during the first half with a right knee injury and is expected to miss time. Fasusi was held out of the game due to a lingering shoulder issue sustained against UTEP, though Venables described the injury as short-term rather than long-term. Meanwhile, Ryan Fodje returned to the starting lineup after missing the previous week of play. The Sooners are preparing for their next opponent, New Mexico, with a matchup scheduled for September 19 at 6:30 p.m. The team looks to recover from the recent road defeat as coaching staff evaluates the health of key personnel moving forward.
