OU football: Trey Sermon in line for even bigger role following another season-ending injury in running backs room

LUBBOCK, TEXAS — Trey Sermon, with a bag of gear in both hands, walked out of the visitor's locker room at Jones AT&T Stadium on Saturday night, turned right and looked up a long ramp to where Oklahoma's team bus was parked.

Sermon playfully asked an OU staffer if he had to carry his bags to the top. They had gotten heavier after carrying the ball 26 times for 206 yards in Oklahoma's 51-46 win at Texas Tech.

“They definitely are,” he said through a grin.

Sermon had a career day in rushing attempts, yards and touchdowns Saturday.
