Well an option QB was chosen for the 80s, and someone said it's a pity to waste such great WRs, so we made a passing QB position there. 

We have an extra ball-carrying position here, with 2 RBs and a FB.  We COULD put Earl at FB and put someone fast and great at RB......

Nope, instead, he was the #1 running back, as designated by this all decade team.

I thought about James Lofton, but his NFL career and my bias for a Stanford guy is probably leading me astray.

This is the perfect mindset for such an exercise.

We should revisit the 90s thread and move Ron Dayne to FB....

The fastest wishbone fullback in OU history, Kenny King was nicknamed ‘The Rocket’ by his head coach Barry Switzer.  In 1976 King led the Sooners in rushing with 791 yards at 5.6 yards per carry and four touchdowns. For his career, King rushed for 1,663 yards at 6.4 yards per carry and seven touchdowns.
