Lincoln Riley Calls Chuba Hubbard a ‘Horse in the Backfield’

Oklahoma State heads into Bedlam sans its leading wide receiver and starting quarterback for the first time in the Mike Gundy era. But that doesn’t make Lincoln Riley feel any better about stopping the Cowboys offense.

The top playmaker on OU’s whiteboard — and on Riley’s mind — is the nation’s leading rusher, Chuba Hubbard.

I said the other night, he’s fantastic. He’s had an elite year,” said Riley. “They’ve done a great job using him. Line’s done a good job blocking for him and he’s got a great combination. He’s got breakaway speed. He’s got power.
