I know Billy Sims was one...

I thought of him and Griffin, but thought theyd have too many carries... Prolly right though...

Not one right guess yet.

Sims averaged 6.94.

Washington didn't average over 7 yards. Maybe 6 yards a carry.

Pruitt is one. I think the other is Clendon Thomas or Billy Vessels. I'll say Vessels.

Patrick Collins?

Well, he's saying Sooner, and not specifically RB.

Could be a lineman who ran the fumlberooski, or a TE on a reverse, or some such.

Okay Pruitts one now who's the other?

We have a winner.

Now the really important question? Did you look it up? :confused:
HarrisTubbsFan
8/10/2006, 10:56 PM
It's Pruitt and Heath.

Heath averaged 7.03 a carry Pruitt averaged almost 7.4

Heath Ledger played for OU? When??

Well I'm sure Keith Jackson was one of them. Is Pruitt the other?
HarrisTubbsFan
8/10/2006, 11:11 PM
I've gotta turn in. So I may just give the answer away. This guy ran for the record in 1983 against Colorado.
MiccoMacey
8/10/2006, 11:12 PM
80 yard TD...bobbled the ball and picked it up on one bouce...kept on running to paydirt.
SOONER44EVER
8/10/2006, 11:18 PM
I guess I should have read the other posts first. Surely Keith Jackson averaged more than that. He had 3 carries for 136 yards against Nebraska in 1985. Thats 45.3 ypc!

Guess it'll last till tomorrow morning or tomorrow night. Good night all.

The answer is Gregg Pruitt, but that's not the answer you're looking for apparently as Pruitt set the record against Kansas State in '71.

Earl Johnson had a monster game against CU in 1983, but it's not in the top 10 total rushing yards games by Sooners.

Edit: Oh, crap, sorry. Reread the question. The answer is Earl Johnson after all. Sorry-thought you were asking for the all time best rushing game by a Sooner, not by a freshman.

Wasn't Pruitt a soph. when he ran for 294?
Oops, I just reread your post. I think I had too many brewskis today.

How many ypc did Keith Jackson avg? I've been looking but can only find receiving yards.

Man, I have NO idea. A lot? I guess you could go to Soonerstats and look up every game he played in-I think they have box scores...

Was Leon Crosswhite a white guy? I can't remember since I was just 7 or so and most of the games were on the radio back then.

Adrian Peterson. He just moves so fast that the spectrum shift makes him look very dark.

Earl Johnson is the correct answer. Greg Pruitt was a Jr when he set the all time record. Pruitt only had about 300 yards as a Sophomore. He started that year at wide out.

Either Grant Burget or Jay McKim.

Here's a footnote on my trivia question only 4 sophomores have ever gotten over 200 yards in OU history. 2 did it twice(De'Mond Parker, and some guy that wears 28), Gaddis did it in 89. And the other one was Billy Vessels in 1950. He is the only newcomer that was a sophomore that has gotten over 200 yards.

on ncaa 07 the 2000 sooners have littrell listed as the starting hb

Jay McKim.

yes.


he was also a rhodes scholar if i remember correctly.
BigUgly

I'm pretty sure Mark Hutson carried the ball only once and it was for about 18 yards. Granted, it probably took him 5 seconds to get there - but he got there.

Jim Grisham. Even though Wylie was after him.
stoopified
8/12/2006, 10:53 AM
I don't recall McKim ever starting a game.If he did it was a one-time thing as he was reserve hb throughout his career.The way I took the question was who was the last white starter at hb,meaning full-time.Full-time would be Wylie(1971).Burget had a couple of starts I think Burget had a couple of starts as did Welch.We have white starting fbs such as the Littrellls(Jim and Seth),Mike Mckinley alternated with Rasheed under Gibbs.But the last REGULAR white starting hb was Wylie.

8/12/2006, 11:08 AM
it was a one time thing. i don't remember the exact game he started, but i'm thinking it was against CU.
