Despite the heavy emphasis in 21st century college football of wide-open aerial attacks, the Sooners, for one, have never abandoned the notion of bringing in and incorporating high-quality running backs as part of that offensive evolution. The OU running back group for 2018 is a prime example.
Redshirt junior Rodney Anderson is the clear No. 1, but the Crimson and Cream are blessed with a talented and deep roster of quality running backs, right out of the historic Oklahoma mold.
Six of the Sooners’ seven national championships have been won by Oklahoma teams that ran the football with abandon.
