Taylor Wein sparks Oklahoma surge as SEC keeps rewarding Sooner defenders

During a two-week span without their best defensive lineman, the Oklahoma Sooners have still been awarded for having the best defensive lineman in the conference.

OU defensive end Taylor Wein on Monday was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week, just a week after being awarded SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week. Also on Monday, defensive tackle Gracen Halton was named SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week, giving a Sooner the reward two weeks in a row, even while top player defensive end R Mason Thomas has missed the last two games with a quad injury.
