Damien Williams OU RB

[MarkOU]

@ UTEP 9 carries 104 yards 1 TD
FA&M 10 carries 156 yards 4 TD

This guy is a beast and OU finds yet another RB out of nowhere and this guy started #3 on the depth chart.

Damien has great breakaway speed with long TD runs of 65 and 89 yards this year.

Came out of JUCO and was the leading rusher in 2011 with 1931 yards 26 TDs with an average of 7.5ypc. Right now he leads Div 1 with 13.7ypc, is 2nd in Rush TDs and 12th in total rush yards.

Excited about this guy. Line seems to be opening holes for him while OU pass blocking looks shakey, which is a reverse of whats its been the last couple of year. Odd.

OU is averaging 7.1 per rush and 9 TDs on the ground. Despite their schedule this is a change in the Sooner offense.

That's impressive. Need to see how he does once you get into the conference play.

K-State will be a huge test for him. Yes the pass block has some questions, but I've been saying Oklahoma will not go back to the bcs championship until they find their running attack again. If they can continue these performances on the ground against tougher opponents the passing game will open up and they'll be able to wear down their opponents by being able to rotate 4 very good backs in throughout the game, giving the defense absolutely no breaks.

It's been a long time since OU has had more rushing yards than passing yards. That is a surprise given Landry is a Senior. Once all the new wr start to gell I think you will see the passing yards creep back up. Looks like they are going to redshirt Ross at rb since Whaley and Finch are healthy and Williams is playing so well.

This kid looks really good. It's great to see him play and OU get another decent back. After Demarco, it's been quiet. Now with Waley last year and this Williams stepping up, having a decent/good ground game is encouraging. Passing on all three downs if you don't get the first gets old....and makes me feel for OU's defense.

Will be curious to see how Williams does once we get into conference play.

Those numbers are unreal despite the talent he is playing against.

We'll see how he does against K-State, who literally shut down Miami's running game.

Laugh all you want, I'd take K-State over UGA right now, especially if the game were in Manhattan.

Look forward to seeing him. Haven't seen Oklahoma play yet this season.
