Due to a second season-ending leg injury to starting running back DeMarco Murray, Madu will see significant playing time behind Chris Brown as Oklahoma’s No. 2 running back in the Jan. 8 BCS National Championship against Florida.

Madu, who saw carries sporadically throughout the regular season, is coming off a career performance in which he rushed for 114 yards and three touchdowns in OU’s Big 12 title victory over Missouri.

On the season, Madu has rushed for six touchdowns and 463 yards, averaging 4.2 yards per carry.

How does Trammel get by writing a story that only has 4 sentences? Where do I get me one of these cushy jobs?

I love the way Madu runs. He reminds of Joe Washington. I think with a month to get ready he will have a huge game.

There is NO doubt. OU will win! Boomer!

I live in Jacksonville fla,also a lifelong sooners fan. After the enormous amount of smacktalking going on here I have to say this is the most arrogant team ou has faced in a long time. Fla thinks that they will win this game and it will be a blowout. Most fla fans feel the same way. It is time for ou to bring its A game out on these fools. I have heard so many times that fla is going to show the whole country that ou is soft, and that ou will be dominated. Lets bring these guys back down to earth with a severe national stage beating. Stay focused its time to go to war. The fla fans will try to intimidate down in miami. Let them know that we arent down for that s*** and,be louder than they are do not back down. Its time to represent. BOOMER SOONER!

A forum without BS from OSU, Florida, Shorthorns, etc. How refreshing!

463 yards for the season ain't half bad, considering the time he's been given. I'd love too see he and Broyles have big games on 1/8. I believe they were high school teammates.

im expecting 3 things come January 8th. 1-our defense is going to smash Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin(Percy will be asking for MERCY)! 2-Ryan Broyles will have an awesome game. 3-we take home our 8th national championship. Boomer Sooner!

Wow, what a chance for Madu to come out on a national stage in such an important game. You think he won't bring his A game? He will be competing with Brown for #1! I think Bradford may have a few runs in this game too after he sees Tebow making some plays. I think Gresham will have a great performance also.

My mistake - it's Mossis, not Moses.

This is a young man who deserves his time to shine. He's earned it after many a game try to run behind the reserve offensive line. Good luck, Moses, you've earned it. BOOMER SOONER!!!

Madu did a great job, in the Big XII Championship. He might not be Demarco Murray, but he is a good runningback. Hopefully, he'll have a career high, in yardage and TD's, on Jan 8. GO SOONERS.

Madu is a Very talented runner who has patiently been waiting for his turn. His desire to excell is sky high! He's always said he wants to prove that he belongs here and not just because he's from Norman.
Run Mossis Run! Hope you have a world class game against the Gators!
BOOMER SOONER! It would be great to see Madu and Broyles, the 2 Norman Players embarrass the Gators!

Richard, I'm with you. I liken it to when Jamelle Holieway went out with a knee injury and Charles Thompson was his backup. I felt bad but then was excited about Charles Thompson. We lost the Championship to Miami but I think you get my drift.

I watched some of the Big 12 Championship game again last night after the kids went to bed and I was really impressed by Madu. When the game is still on and not in wash up duty his cuts and instincts really stand out. When Bradford scrambled he had the smarts to move with him and find a spot to give Bradford a target. He picked up the blitz well. Here is a young man who is probably excited as heck to get his big break and help his team (again). Three deep at RB is a good thing,but you gotta work with what you have. This is good for recruiting as well, those young bucks who want to get in the game early in their college careers will see that they might have that opportunity at OU.

Its the biggest stage in CF to showcase your skills. Make it happen! CHOP CHOP! BOOMER SOONER!

Mossis will lead OU to the Promised land much like that other Moses Dude.
