Oklahoma Sooners Football: The current state of the running back position

Despite producing a string of NFL stars and draft picks for the last 15 years, the Oklahoma Sooners find themselves lacking star power at running back this year.

Between injuries and an inconsistent role in the offense, a fed-up Trey Sermon took Ohio State up on an offer to transfer. After topping 1,000 yards rushing in each of the last two years, Kennedy Brooks is apparently sitting out the season. Marquee recruit Jase McClellan jilted OU at the last moment to join Alabama.

Add in the suspension to Rhamondre Stevenson and it’s hard to say who’s supposed to carry the load for the Sooners.
