NORMAN — The NCAA suspended Rhamondre Stevenson, apparently over a marijuana test. Trey Sermon transferred to Ohio State, apparently because Kennedy Brooks got the bulk of the carries last season. Then Brooks cashed in this season, apparently because of COVID-19.
A deep and wide position was down to T.J. Pledger, Marcus Major and Seth McGowan among OU scholarship tailbacks. Combined college stats: 50 carries, 272 yards. About what Steve Owens had all by himself in the 1969 Bedlam game (55-261).
But on the list of Sooner concerns, tailback depth ranks somewhere between locker-room music and brand of bagel on the breakfast bar.
