Oklahoma football: Can Sooners stay strong in Rodney Anderson’s absence?

Some would call it a major adjustment. Homerism notwithstanding, we’re not willing to take it quite that far.

No question that Rodney Anderson is a prime contributor to Oklahoma’s high-octane offense. On a somewhat innocuous running play that gained 10 yards on Saturday, however, the hard-running Sooner running back didn’t bounce back to his feet after the play ended. Instead, he remained on the ground clutching his right knee. A play that earned OU a first down at the UCLA 10-yard line on the final play of the first quarter ended up costing the Sooners much more.
