Cranks but will NOT start

I was driving about 75mph when the oil pressure gauge went to zero and check gauges light came on. With in seconds I pulled over and shut it off.

Has fuel pressure
Has oil pressure (checked by mechanical gauge at oil filter)
Cranks and spins free but will not start

What say you?

What you are describing is the aftermath of when the engine kills. Have you checked for spark?
