Hard runnin’ Murray leads 28-20 win
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.
