New OU assistant Deland McCullough: Sooners RBs will be 'detailed, dependable and disciplined'
New Oklahoma assistant coach Deland McCullough has a strong track record of getting solid production out of his running backs, and he expects that to continue with the Sooners in 2026.
New Oklahoma running backs coach Deland McCullough has coached backs who have combined for 17 seasons of 1,000-plus yards from scrimmage.

Three takeaways from Oklahoma softball's 5-0 weekend roadtrip
No. 4 Oklahoma strung together five consecutive run-rule wins during the second weekend of the season, continuing the Sooners' strong start away from home.
A few takeaways from Oklahoma softball's Southwest swing, which included five run-rule wins in as many games -- capped by Sunday's ridiculous 34-0 win at UTEP.
Notes on...
-- Freshman Kai Minor
-- The lineup depth
-- Kierston Deal's struggles in the circle

I get it, but I also understand the give-and-take with his offense/defense. He has the worst defensive rating on the team, and defense has more often than not been the bigger issue for Oklahoma this season (29th in off. efficiency, 154th in def. efficiency, per KenPom).
He needs *some* role, tho.

Kuol Atak might have the most taxing role for Oklahoma in SEC play -- in and out of the rotation (more often the latter) -- but expected to provide instant offense when called upon.
He delivered big in a win against Georgia after DNPs in four of the prior five games. 247sports.com/college/okla...

Still intact, but only applies after five innings. They scored 34 in five (eight in the first, 12 in the third, 14 in the fifth)
