How are things, Sooner fans? I hope it’s been a solid Sunday so far. As of today, there are officially less than two weeks between now and the start of the Oklahoma Sooners’ 2018 season. For today’s Countdown to Kickoff special, I want to take a closer look at a do-it-all player who regularly made big plays on teams with big names. I’m talking about tailback/receiver Steve Sewell.
Coming all the way from San Francisco, Calif. in 1981, Sewell’s physical gifts allowed him to stand out. At 6’3”, he was taller than most backs, so whenever he ran, it looked as if his long frame wasn’t moving as fast.
