So who will carry the rushing load for the Sooners now that Adrian Peterson's gone? According to Rivals.com, it will most likely be Allen Patrick. "The Sooners already have a good idea who will fill the shoes for Peterson, who rushed for 4,045 yards over the last three seasons," says the website. "Peterson missed seven games last year with a broken collarbone. In his absence, Patrick emerged as a top running threat with 761 yards and four touchdowns. Chris Brown and redshirt freshman DeMarco Murray will part of this replacement by committee."
Is Patrick the right guy for the job? How good is he?
