Oklahoma will be without its leading receiver for the rest of the season.
Sooners coach Brent Venables announced Monday that Andrel Anthony suffered a season-ending knee injury in the 34-30 win over Texas on Saturday. Anthony, a transfer from Michigan, leads Oklahoma with 429 receiving yards on the season. He had five catches for 42 yards in the Texas game before sustaining the injury in the fourth quarter.
“It’s tough,” Venables told reporters. “You hate it for Andrel and how hard he’s worked. We got to 6-0. He had a big part in helping us get there. Again, all of his best football is in front of him. He’ll have a great career on the back end of this surgery.” Anderson caught the game-winning three-yard touchdown pass from Dillon Gabriel in the win over Texas. It was his only catch of the game, but he’s been a big-play threat for the Sooners this year. He has just 11 catches, but they’ve gone for 282 yards and six touchdowns. That’s an average of 25.6 yards per reception.
