The other five, KU, Mizzou, CU, Baylor and Tx Tech didn’t have much in the way of rushing attacks last season.
If DeMarco Murray is healthy he could be the best back in the conference. If OU can piece together an O-line for him. Helu should be among the top backs if he stays healthy. A&M’s Christine Michael could break out too.
