However, Andrel Anthony, the team’s leading receiver, received less positive news.

Venables stated that Anthony, who suffered a leg injury in the fourth quarter, “is going to have to have season-ending surgery.”

“It’s tough,” Venables said. “You hate it for him. We have other guys, but you despise Andrel for how hard he works. We made it to 6-0, thanks in large part to him. However, his best football is still ahead of him. He’ll have a fantastic career following this surgery.”

Venables stated that cornerback Gentry Williams “is good; he practiced today.” Williams also departed the fourth quarter with an injury but attended the postgame press conference.

Mettauer, a fifth-year senior from the Houston area, has been a starter for three years after moving from California. He has started every game at right guard this season and ranks among the team leaders in total snaps.

Anthony, a Detroit native and transfer from Michigan, leads the Sooners in receiving with 429 yards and 27 catches, ranking second.
