Grant points out that the two players atop the RB depth chart are injury prone, so potentially all RBs have a chance to get some ..read more

After some opening pleasnatries, we jump into the story of DeMarco Murray staying at OU after getting courted by Ohio State.

Seeing these rankings put into perspective why FanDuel has set the Sooners' season win total at 7.5 for 2024. Grant can make a case for why certain teams ahead of OU could falter.
