The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the NFL Draft came and went Friday. DeMarco Murray and Ryan Broyles decided to return to school for next season, brightening the outlook of OU’s 2010 season. Murray felt he had unfinished business in Norman. I still had some more things I wanted to get accomplished with my teammates and become a better player as well,” Murray told ESPN. "I won’t have to share carries anymore, so I will get to play a lot more than I have here and be the guy.” Murray will finally get his opportunity to be "the guy.” OU’s coaches have used running back rotations in part to keep their backs fresh. But also because there wasn’t that drastic of a difference between the three, or two. But next season, there will be a dropoff from Murray and the rest of the backs. If he can remain healthy, that could do wonders for Murray’s draft stock, which has been damaged by his tendency to get injured. Being "the guy” means Murray could also make an assault on the OU record books, in addition to improving his draft stock.
