DeMarco Murray, OU running back, in advance of Big 12 title game vs. Missouri:

On OU’s offensive weapons: Defenses are not being able to just key on me or Sam (Bradford). Have to mix up defenses, one or two of us will be open at one time. Everybody’s getting their touches. Know be able to make something happen. Know we have a lot of guys who can make it happen. Care about the bigger prize, not the individual stuff.

How much difference in how playing now vs. September as he recovered from last season’s knee injury: I feel a thousand times better since the Texas week. I just wasn’t right. Didn’t have pep in my step. Last couple of weeks, feel like my old self. Getting speed back and making more cuts. I was definitely worried at first of year. Kept getting told it would come. Kept working, rehabbing. During Kansas week when it really took off for me.
