Oklahoma football: Position preview – Running backs

We start our Oklahoma football position preview series with running backs.

Oklahoma football’s recent run of stellar running backs shows no sign of slowing down in 2019.

The Sooners return virtually all their major contributors from last year’s College Football Playoff run, plus add some new faces that should help keep everyone fresh going into 2019.

Kennedy Brooks is a preseason first-team all conference pick after rushing for a team-leading 1,056 yards last year. Even more impressively, he did it on just 119 carries for an average of 8.9 yards per rush. Yes, that’s for an entire season.
