We're halfway through the season, assuming we play in the big12 title game and only play in one bowl/playoff game. So let's look at the stats thus far this year.

QB: Murray is 115-159 for 1977 yards, 25 TD, 3 INT. 377 rushing yards, 57rush, 5 TD. For the mathematically illiterate (or those educated in Oklahoma), that's a projected 3954 passing yards, 50 TDs, 754 rushing yards, and 10 rushing TDs. See you in New York. Last year, Baker's final stat line was 4627 passing yards, 43 TDs, 311 rushing yards and 5 TD. That's 230 less total yards than Baker (who also had 1 reception for 2 yards and a TD) and 12 more TDs. Baker completed 70.54% of his passes, Kyler is completing 72.30% of his passes. Kyler is already 8th all time in passing TDs at OU, and 16th in Passing yardage. Kyler is 2nd in the nation (behind King at Houston) in points responsible for per game. 2nd in yards per pass (Tua), 3rd in passing TD, 2nd in passing efficiency.

RB: The past 3 years OU's average yard per rush have been.
'15: 5.03
'16: 5.37
'17: 5.58
This year?
'18: 6.41
Yes, we're averaging .83 more yards per carry than when we had Rodney Anderson. 1.04 more yards than when we had Perine and Mixon. This is helped largely because Kyler is rushing for 6.61 yards per carry, and Baker was usually in the 3s.
Sermon: 458 rush yards, 81 rush, 5 TD. 5.65 yards per carry. 118 rec yards, 5 recep 23.60 yards per recep. Sermon now has 1202 career rushing yards.
Brooks: 360 rush yards, 33 rush, 4 TD 10.91 yards per rush. 25 rec yards, 4 rec, 6.25 yards per recep.
Sutton 134 rush 2 TD, 5.15 yards per carry, 14 rec yards
Anderson 119 yards, 3 TD, 10.82 yards per carry
Pledger: 88 yards, 17 rush 5.18 ypc. I reception for 12 yards.

WR:
Brown: 716 yards, 38 rec, 7 TD. He's OPF (On pace for) 1432 yards this season, which would be the 3rd best season all time at OU. He's currently 10th all time in career receiving yards at OU with 1811. If he stays at this pace...he'll end up at 6th all time (assuming he leaves this year) passing the likes of Hinton, Savage, Westbrook, and Kelly. He'd also be tied for 7th with 21 career TDs.
Lamb: 514 yards, 30 rec. 7 TD. OPF 1028 yards...which would be the 10th best season all time at OU. Lamb is currently 26th All time in rec. yardage at OU. At this pace, he'd finish this year (with at minimum one more year to go) with 1835 career receiving yards, which would be good for 10th All time at OU, passing the likes of.....Neal, Griffin, Hall, Mills, Smith Saunders, Murray, Alexander, Jackson, Owens, Gresham, Fagan, Johnson, Andrews, and Warren. He also has 14 career TDs, and would finish tied with Westbrook, Kelly, and Brown with 21 career Tds.
After those 2 it's an abrupt fall in production. Morris and Calcaterra have 241, 10, 6 TD (morris) and 167, 12, 1 TD (Calcutta). No one on the team after that has more than 6 receptions (Morris).

Offense in general. The offense is averaging 8.75 yards per play this year. Last year...8.29. Nearly a half yard more per play this year. We're averaging only 59.3 plays per game. 10 less than last year. Our offense is currently ranked 7th in total offense. Tied for 5th (with a few teams) in Turnovers lost (6).
