Oklahoma’s season will be underway in less than a month, and the Sooners are once again expected to compete for a National Championship.
However, Lincoln Riley’s squad will have to replace several key pieces -- including Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield -- in order to get there.
Here are five bold predictions for the Sooners’ upcoming season.
Oklahoma will have two 1,000-yard rushers. Quarterback Kyler Murray and running back Rodney Anderson are among the nation’s Heisman Trophy favorites for 2018, and their collaboration could lead to a fierce rushing attack. Assuming Murray wins the starting job, he has the wheels to become OU’s first 1,000-yard rusher at quarterback since Jack Mildren in 1971.
