he's a BIG piece to be missing and that my friends is an understatement! that being said we'll come out focused and ready to roll in January NO EXCUSES!

Sad that he can't play but as long as Bradford is healthy it shouldn't matter. Brown and Madu are both good enough to fill in.

With that said...rooting for Florida.

Good player, but I can't see it slowing them down that much

WELL... This opens up the excuse window... Most OU fans still think that they lost to Texas because Reynolds got hurt... But I think Chris Brown will show that he can... run it, run it... lol I crack myself up

I feel bad for Murray missing the NC game, however, he hasn't been the same since last year's injury vs Texas Tech. Watching him this year it appeared that he lost a step (maybe two) and never really got it back. He showed spurts later in the year, but the home run step he had last year is gone. The only aspect the Sooners will miss will be his game experience and hands out of the backfield. Saying that, I think Madu can more than handle the situation and we will have no excuses going up against the Gators January 8.

Boomer Sooner!

P.S.- Oklahoma State coach Mike "I'm a man...I'm Forty" Gundy should be the Big 12 and national coach of the year. The Cowboys were expected to be 6-6 (7-5 at best) and what he has done this year should be rewarded.

Guess it would be comparable to Florida missing Percy Harvin in the Alabama game. Skill people are usually interchangable at big-time schools. They all seem to run 4.4 and bench press 300 pounds anyway.

I dont feel that Madu can just step in. He just isnt as good or as explosive as Murray.

Based on what, wins over a bunch of mediocre teams?? Here's Ok St's 9 wins:

Washington State
Houston
Missouri State
Troy
Texas A&M
Missouri (overrated)
Baylor
Iowa State
Colorado

Murray is a stud .... big loss for Oklahoma.

I hate that Murray can't play, he's honestly the only Sooner that scared me. So now when they lose the excuse machine will be in full effect.

Not as BIG of an excuse as: Colt (he didn't win the Hesiman 'cause he didn't play an extra game) McCoy.....

I haven't seen or heard of this excuse... I do remember Colt on tv talking with Krik and he said that he can't blame anyone... If they had took care of business, they would not even have been talking about it

colt was definitely the bigger man for saying this. if only UT fans were the same.
(not directed at you thattexas_boy)

UF fans, or at least those rooting against OU, who say the excuse machine is gearing up...at least have the sense to wait until after game is over and UF is the victor. murray isn't the sole offensive weapon on OU's squad, which has other backs, upperclassmen receivers and a stud tight end in gresham.

yep, you're gonna miss that burner...The guy has incredible speed. He leaves a smoky trail on the field but I'm sure the Sooner's are stacked in that position no?.

P.S. Why is he doing KO returns for? Obviously too risky....

Before the game it wasn't that big of a deal. After the game it was a huge deal and Florida "would have blown Alabama out if they had had him and others".

wow Texas fans mouthing off? thats new, hmmmmm let me step outside....nope no planes rented buy rich oil guys wearing cowboy hats smoking stogies and slapping freshman girls on the rump. hmmmmm.... sure your texas fans?
