Barry Sanders is going to have a fight for playing time.
Okie State doesn't run the ball all that much. Last year they got 26% of their total yards from scrimmage by running. For comparison Stanford got 51+% of our yards running, soon to be Sanders opponent Baylor got 53%.
Of Ok State's 2015 RBs, the only one who doesn't have eligibility remaining is Corey Bennett, who had two carries on the season.
On the other hand, there don't seem to be any stars there, so perhaps Mr. Sanders is exactly what they are looking for.
Their primary RBs from last year were:
Name      Games Carries Yds Avg    Avg/game
Carson, Chris  12   131  517 3.9    43.08
Taylor, Ray    11    47  297 6.3    27.00
