DALLAS -- One of the most high-profile transfers in college football this season will be running back Barry J. Sanders, who left Stanford to play his final season at the school where his father won the Heisman Trophy 28 years ago.
Already, Sanders has been impressing Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy, who was also his dad's quarterback on that 1988 team.
"He's mature, dependable, seems to be durable," said Gundy, who refers to Barry J. Sanders as "Junior." "He came from a winning program and an offense that obviously runs the football."
The Cowboys are banking that Sanders can help jolt an Oklahoma State running game that ranked 114th in the country last year.
