2012 Position Review: Running backs
What did we think/hope would happen?
The RB position would be shared by a healthy Dominique Whaley and newcomer Damien Williams. Brennan Clay would be used primarily in a third-down role. Roy Finch would be used primarily as a slot wide receiver.
If any injuries issues occured, Oklahoma could pull the redshirt off of impressive freshman Alex Ross.

No. 22 Cowboys drop Bedlam 51-48 in overtime
The combination of a Bedlam win and the program's first Big 12 championship produced pure elation for Oklahoma State a year ago.
Coach Mike Gundy and his Cowboys had the opposite feeling in the rematch.

Oklahoma's depth at running back starting to show
For most of three seasons, Brennan Clay has bided his time, waiting for his chance to be the starting running back for No. 14 Oklahoma.
That chance came Saturday against Iowa State and Clay shined with a 157-yard effort. His emergence gives Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops a good problem as the Sooners (6-2, 4-1 Big 12) prepare to host Baylor (4-4, 1-4) this Saturday - a slew of running...

Oklahoma athletes volunteer in Haiti
NORMAN, Okla. Landry Jones doesn't complete a pass or throw an interception.
Running back Brennan Clay never gets a carry or scores a touchdown and Whitney Hand and Morgan Hook of the women's basketball team never even suit up.
They're all wearing Oklahoma gear, but they're out of uniform and definitely in a different light.

Oklahoma Outlasts Iowa in Insight Bowl
No. 19 Oklahoma hung on late to outlast a pesky Iowa team 31-14 in the 2011 Insight Bowl. Oklahoma was gaining yards in bits instead of its usual chunks. Its defense was solid before giving up a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter to lose nearly all of a 21-point lead. Then a camera fell from the sky. It wasn’t always pretty, but the Sooners grinded out a win, closing out...
