DeMarco Murray rushes from obscurity into Cowboys' record book

Murray went for 253 yards in Dallas' 34-7 victory within the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, probably the most hurrying yards ever in one game in team history. Only eight other National football league gamers and something other rookie have put together more yards on the floor in a single game.

It had been also probably the most hurrying yards ever permitted through the Rams, breaking an archive set by Jim Brown in 1957.

“I i never thought inside a million years that I'd ever possess a day such as this,” stated Murray, another-round choose of Oklahoma who went 91 yards for any touchdown (second longest in team history) on his first carry. “This is exactly what I have been spending so much time for since my Pop Warner days.”

Murray joined the overall game with only 71 yards for that season but saw elevated playing time because of a higher ankle sprain to starter Felix Johnson.

Most National football league fans might have been caught unexpectedly (a lot more than 11,000 fantasy gamers added Murray for their rosters Monday morning on Yahoo! Sports), but Sooner fans might have seen next. Murray set career records at Oklahoma for those-purpose yards (6,626), touchdowns (64), points (384) and receiving yards with a running back (1,572).

The question now becomes, will Murray get the opportunity for any repeat performance? He's still listed as third around the Cowboys' depth chart, behind Johnson and Tashard Choice. But Johnson may miss more games together with his injuries ... plus how lengthy do they really keep an exciting-time team leader around the bench?
