What happens after Millard graduates? The coaches will no longer be able to say Millard must get more touches. That's been their favorite line since Mossis Madu left.

Really? I remember Millard getting a lot of touches last year. I saw him used as a TE, RB & FB. I dont know how many times you want one guy to touch the ball, there are a lot of other play makers on the OU team & only one ball.

Nice break down guy.

DeMarco Murray, if he had not had to follow Peterson would
be mentioned a lot more with the OU greats. and if he can stay healthy he might get up to that 2000 yard range.
