[Husker] Sooners

[Aaron Wolfson]

Even if Murray is out, don't sleep on OU's rushing attack. Moses Madu and
freshman Roy Finch are very capable, although not having Murray definitely
would hurt the passing game, since Murray is a better receiver and blocker.
Finch in particular impresses me -- he is electric and fights for extra
yards on every run.
