Oklahoma-Michigan Review: PFF Grades and Snap Counts

Offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh threw a curveball at the Wolverines on Saturday. 

He brought in four new starters from the Week 1 win over Illinois State, with three of those new starters making their season debuts. 

Fasusi, the 5-star freshman, graded out at fourth on the offense with an overall grade of 69.2, a pass blocking grade of 61.0 and a run blocking grade of 69.5.

Tackle Logan Howland, who played nine offensive snaps on the final scoring drive, finished as the Sooners’ highest-rated player on the offense with a 77.0 overall grade. 

Unsurprisingly, Mateer and receiver Deion Burks also received high grades. 

Mateer was second on the offense with a 76.8 grade after he completed 21-of-34 passes for 270 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also added two rushing touchdowns and 74 yards on the ground on 19 carries. 

Burks caught seven balls for 101 yards and a score, and he received a 72.3 grade.
