Oklahoma football: Trey Sermon not the first Sooner running back to transfer

Trey Sermon is transferring to Ohio State, and there should be no ill will towards the tailback who gave the Sooners three good years. The same roads that bring in transfers can take transfers out.

And besides, there’s some irony in Sermon becoming a Buckeye. His watershed moment as a Sooner came in Ohio Stadium, in Sermon’s second college game: 62 yards rushing on 17 carries, with three catches for 23 yards and a touchdown. The latter was a fourth-quarter score that gave OU a 24-13 lead in an eventual 31-16 victory.

Sermon began that day as the second-team tailback (Abdul Adams started) and ended the season as the second-team tailback (Rodney Anderson became a star).
