He doesn't quite have Adrian Peterson's breakaway speed, but he's quicker than A.D. He can cut like Reggie, and he's likely (almost certainly) the next huge OU star.

We're only 25 days away from kickoff -- Sept. 1 at 6 p.m. against North Texas. And Allen Patrick is still a vital piece of this Oklahoma football team, but it's not out of the question that the Sooners will have the best 1-2 running back punch in school history in Murray and Patrick.

The talent here is crazy good. Difference between Murray and Patrick and Peterson and Patrick, as a combo, is that the former will definitely be a pair. Murray can catch the ball out of the backfield, and I expect Patrick to be the bang-em back. And what's scary is that most NFL experts say Patrick could be a higher draft pick than Arkansas' Darren McFadden.
