After his first game since he popped his collar, the assumption that the best college football running back of our time will be heading pro. Not necessarily! Though he had a decent game yardage wise, and 2 TD’s in his first game back, he may stay for one more.

He has yet to put together a full season since his freshman, is as big a fan of Sooner football as he is of football. With Oklahoma returning with a strong team in ‘07 he will give a senior season a worthwhile look. What a year it can be, a solid Sooner team with a legitimate shot a another BCS bowl game or even National Championship, almost certain Heisman contender, and a top selection in the 2008 NFL draft. Or the chance to get that game winning opportunity back that Ian Johnson took from them, to rush for another 25-yard TD in overtime and get the win against a cinderella unit.

BUT, a guar-on-teed top-10 selection in THIS years draft, and the NFL’s millions are a hefty contender. Plus, never having to wake earlier for another class again would be priceless. Either way, this bruising tailback is in for a hell of a 2007 season while in the meantime we wait for his decision…
