Come on, man. You seem like you follow college football. If you think that Murray is going to run around on college defenses like he did in high school, and especially against a good defense like Texas has, you're being blindly biased.

Gracias. The dark times (offseason) are almost over. It's when I get feistier.
Well first, I never once said that he would so if you thought that was my head, well, that's just not the case for me. The fact that he's gonna be the fastest guy on the field most saturdays, he'll get some runs in. But i don't in any way expect or even want him to try to run around like he did in high school- I'd like to see him tuck and run less than 10 times a game and let Anderson and Sermon do the bruising. They have too good of a line and too deep a rb corps for them to need him to run all that much. He can be more like Mayfield and use his athleticism to escape sacks and find the open man
I agree that he can use his legs to buy him some time and to run some, but he'll find out the hard way that running around in CFB won't work like it did in HS. I'm not convinced he'll be all that as a college QB. We shall see. He probably doesn't need to be all that great, as OU has a very good running game. They'll have to score a bunch of points with that swiss cheese defense though, lol.
I think he'll be good- i dont know how good but he looked really solid last year, gave me the impression that he's not the same player he was as a rookie. I would think that all his coaches and teammates would have been sharing their opinion on the viability of him running around. I have to think that Riley himself has had discussions about the strategy they'll use with him. Just the threat of him running though is going to be huge and will change how a defense has to defend that offense. I can see him not running all game, lulling the defense into backing off and that's when he strikes. who knows, I just know i like having weapons in the arsenal. And nah they dont need him to be great, they need him to not turn the ball over and to throw to the open wr. Do that and they'll be a top 5 offense again IMO. Yep they'll have to keep scoring because of the defense but i honestly believe they will be a much improved defense from last year. But most of their top talent are freshmen and sophomores so it will take a litlte bit of time for them to get to full form but mark my words OU will be better this year, at least 10% better in yardage given up and they'll be a top 2-3 big 12 defense by 2019.
Isn't nut job Mike Stoops gone? That guy needs some serious anger management counseling. I love to see his meltdowns. What a whacko, lol.
Yes he is quite a character. He will probably die of a heart attack on the field like his father. Or up in the booth, either way it'l be in a fit of bloody spittle infested rage
