I may be a bit naive
but I really think this news isn’t that bad. Madu had a hug game against Missouri, and a Big 12 champ game is a big stage. He might not have the total skill set of DeMarco Murray, but I think his talent level is close.
But who carries the ball isn’t what gave OU 2 1,000 rushers this season….it’s the line. I think I could have rushed for 500 behind this line. It’s the kinda line that make running backs and quarterbacks look good, cause they get the holes and time they need to make the plays.
I don’t think OU will miss a beat
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.
I would feel much worse
if Madu hadn’t played in the Missouri game. The fact that he played well in that game is a plus, but it would be sketchy at best if the only real playing time he had this year was in garbage time.
I know that he will be on the sports biggest stage, but the Big 12 title game came with all the pressure as well. Murray was out and he responded very well. He ought to be better now that he will get the majority of reps in practice and will be directly included in the game plan.
Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple.

I agree
I think the situation with Demarco Murray and Demarcus Granger gives the Sooners something urgent to focus on, which will keep them mentally sharp over the long lay-off, and the length of the lay-off will work in their favor. I’m always concerned about a good team having such a long layoff because they lose their focus and have a hard time staying sharp. I think that’s hurt the Sooners in years past. I think West Virginia had more going for them last year because of the coaching change there, and I think Boise St. had much more focus because they were trying to prove themselves. Granted, Florida will have much to focus on because their boy didn’t win the Heisman again, but I think the Sooners will prepare with urgency, and that will help them a lot.
