DeMarco Murray on Doak Walker award watch list: DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma's top returning rusher, has been named to the preseason watch list for the Doak Walker Award. The honor is presented annually to the top running back in college football. Murray, a sophomore from Las Vegas, Nev., ran for 764 yards last season despite missing three games and drawing only one start. He also scored 15 touchdowns, including 13 on the ground, to tie Adrian Peterson's freshman record at OU. Murray showed a flare for the big play with a 92-yard touchdown run against Utah State and a pair of kickoff returns for touchdowns. The Guaranty Bank SMU Athletic Forum Board of Directors will select the semifinalists on November 10, and the Doak Walker Award National Selection Committee will cast votes to determine the finalists, who will be announced on November 24.(SoonerSports PR)

"I've got another couple months before I can really start sprinting hard, hard," he said. "But it's getting a lot better. I don't feel any pain in my knee, so rehab's going great for me so far."

Murray leads the offense in Red-White game:
In each of the first two scrimmages of the spring,
redshirt freshman running back DeMarco Murray
dazzled with his rushing and receiving ability। It
was more of the same and then some Saturday at the
Red/White Spring Game when 21,020 braved
unseasonably cold temperatures at Gaylord Family
-- Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Murray rushed four
times for 103 yards and one touchdown as the
offense out-scored the defense, 53-30, in a
scoring system devised by the coaching staff. The
offense, which wore the red uniforms, scored five
touchdowns. "It was a good day for us," said OU
head coach Bob Stoops. "DeMarco has been special
all spring and he was good again today. There were
some big plays and I think the fans probably
enjoyed that. "We still have a lot of work to do,
but I felt there were a lot of positives for us.
We've seen some guys improve and we've also had a
chance to see where it is that we need to get
better." Through three scrimmages this spring,
Murray has carried 29 times for 327 yards, an
average of 11.3 per attempt. (Stats and more at

DeMarco Murray: Sooners youth highlight
scrimmage
March 15, 2007
DeMarco Murray highlights scrimmage:
Running back DeMarco Murray made his first
Oklahoma a scrimmage a memorable one Wednesday
afternoon at Gaylord Family -- Oklahoma Memorial
Stadium. The redshirt freshman logged 129 all
purpose yards and scored two touchdowns to
highlight the offense's performance. For OU head
coach Bob Stoops, Murray's performance was one of
the few bright spots. Stoops said the enthusiasm
that had been present through some of the early
spring drills was largely absent in the scrimmage.
Junior Joey Halzle completed 6-of-11 passes for
109 yards and one touchdown. He was intercepted
twice. Redshirt freshman Sam Bradford was good on
8-of-14 attempts for 117 yards with one touchdown
and one interception. True freshman Keith Nichol
was 6-of-8 for 40 yards with one touchdown and no
interceptions. Murray's scoring runs came on a
65-yard sprint and a physical four-yard burst. He
carried the ball nine times for 92 yards, while
also catching three passes for 37. (SoonerSports.com)
Murray on his day: Telling the
Norman Transcript.. "I was nervous at the
beginning," Murray said. "(Running backs coach
coach Cale) Gundy told me to relax and I started
to and just played football."

Sooners DeMarco Murray Changes Numbers
January 7, 2006
Sooners land Vegas back Murray: DeMarco
Murray is going to be a Sooner. All indications
are that the standout high school running back
from Las Vegas will play for Oklahoma. Murray is
expected to announce his college decision today
during the Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio.
OU and USC were his finalists. According to
insiders, the Trojans wanted Murray to play
defensive back. The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder wants to
play running back, the position at which the
Sooners recruited him. Murray would be the third
running back in the Sooners' current recruiting
class, joining Mossis Madu from Norman and Chris
Brown from Alexandria, La., but he is the most
highly touted. (NewsOK.com)
