Straight A’s. Offense: A. Demarco Murray ran pretty good (25 carries, 115 yards). Defense: A. They gave up some big plays, but Tom Wort played his best game this year. His high school highlight film is insane. He played like…
DeMarco Murray says he doesn’t remember anything about his Red River Rivalry past. On Saturday, he played like it.
A senior playing for a fourth time against archrival Texas, Murray rushed for 115 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 25 carries and helped No. 8 Oklahoma hold off the No. 21 Longhorns, 28-20.
“I see what I see from DeMarco a lot, and that’s good, hard, physical running,” said Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops. “He pounded the ball today, ran physical, took care of it. I never saw the ball bobble. He caught the ball well. He did everything you want him to do.”
For Murray, it’s probably a good thing the past two games against Texas have been erased from his memory. The gap between them and his production on Saturday is extraordinary.
