Oklahoma football fans might say that a deep running back group is a good problem to have, but the Sooners must figure out a way to dole out carries to several different talented players.
With Trey Sermon and Kennedy Brooks both back, Oklahoma football is one of the fortunate few programs in the country to return two runners with 900 or more yards from 2018. Add in redshirt freshman T.J. Pledger, JUCO transfer Rhamondre Stevenson and true freshman Marcus Major and you go right past “three’s a crowd” territory.
The Sooners have managed multiple running backs in the past with the ride-the-hot-hand approach, but in the age of the transfer portal, it may be impossible to keep five talented guys all happy in 2019.
