Sooners suspend kicker Calum Sutherland amid assault allegations

Oklahoma kicker Calum Sutherland on Friday was suspended indefinitely amid a report that he's being investigated by the university's Title IX office.

Sutherland, a redshirt sophomore, is accused of physically assaulting his girlfriend, according to The Oklahoman, which obtained a document naming the two parties.

He did not play in the Sooners' most recent game -- a 55-16 win over Texas Tech on Saturday -- a week after he was arrested and charged with public intoxication.

"We have been aware of the matter and Calum has been suspended indefinitely since we were notified," OU football spokesman Mike Houck said.
