* No duo in the country averages more tackles per game than Oklahoma sophomore Kenneth Murray and redshirt senior Curtis Bolton. Both linebackers, Murray ranks sixth nationally (first in the Big 12) with his 12.8 tackles per outing, while Bolton is tied for eighth nationally (third in Big 12) with 12.4

* Murray has 64 tackles on the year, which is just 14 shy of his total last season when he started all 14 games, earned freshman All-America honors from the Football Writers Association of America and USA Today, and was co-Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year. What makes Murray's 2018 tackle total even more astounding is the fact that he registered zero stops in the season opener against Florida Atlantic. Over the last four games, he is averaging 16.0 tackles. Included was a 28-tackle effort against Army which, according to available stats, is an OU record and the most by an FBS player since at least 2000 (when the NCAA began tracking the record).
