Overview
- Early in the first quarter, an overthrown pass carried Lewis beyond the end line, where he hit an unpadded brick barrier headfirst, lay motionless, received about 10 minutes of on-field care, and was carted off on a backboard.
- OU Sports Medicine said he was sent off-site for additional testing and called the outlook "promising."
- Oklahoma’s in-house radio reported that X-rays were negative and that Lewis was awake and walking in the locker room by halftime.
- Head coach Brent Venables said the program is evaluating options to improve player safety, including addressing the wall area behind the end zone.
- Lewis, a key target with 17 receptions for 210 yards and two touchdowns this season, previously left the Temple game after a head collision.
