Murray Maybe Leaving


Well I guess us OU supporters can't count on DeMarco Murray’s return to Oklahoma just yet. The junior, who previously said he was “pretty sure” he would return for his senior season, said he hadn’t made up his mind. A month ago, Murray said: “I like it here. I don’t want to end my career at OU with an 8-4 record or whatever, so I’m just trying to get better. And I just enjoy being here. I’m part of a great team here. I love the coaching staff. I love the camaraderie with my teammates.” Now after practice, he is quoted saying: “Whenever I said that, I was just in the moment and felt I need to come back. But after talking to coaches and things like that, they agree with me that I need to look at both sides and figure out what I’m going to do.” If he leaves I can't blame him but he will not be high as he would like if he leaves now. Of course, I may be saying this because of a bias opinion. One of the key factors will be how the offensive line is looking. “We’ve got some talent here in the O-line, but we knew there was work to be done after those five (linemen) left last year. We’ve got to look at it after the bowl game, see who’s going to stick around and who’s not.” Murray said he has consulted Williams and Sam Bradford -- teammates who chose to return to OU after being faced with their own decisions this time last year. Keep your fingers crossed.
