Depending on my mood this could be the first, last and only entry in this "07 Breakout Stars" series. I'm not even sure Murray will be a breakout star, but I want to write about him, dagnabbit.
Murray is a redshirt freshman tailback at Oklahoma who has been tearing up the practice field of late.
Redshirt freshman DeMarco Murray played a starring role in his third straight scrimmage on Saturday, piling up 103 yards on only four carries in the Sooners' spring game. Murray scored on an 18-yard run on his first carry and later darted around defenders for a 68-yard gain that set up another touchdown.Murray came to Oklahoma last year highly regarded but the presence of Adrian Peterson and some turf toe forced a redshirt. It's doubtful he can be an everydown back given his build and style (more of a speedy slasher than the traditional Oklahoma bruiser), but his spring performances have been a revalation. Be sure and peek at the video below, he has several highlights (wearing No. 7), particularly the run at 3:28.
Murray totaled 327 yards and four touchdowns on 29 carries in the three spring scrimmages, averaging a whopping 11.3 yards. He had at least one run 65 yards or longer in each outing.
