RB Deuce Vaughn – Kansas State

Arguably, one of the best running backs in all of college football, Deuce Vaughn is always dangerous with the ball in his hands. The shifty 5-foot, 7-inch back has demonstrated his speed, vision, and explosiveness during his time at Kansas State.

Oklahoma has experienced plenty of Deuce Vaughn, mainly in the passing game. In 2021, Vaughn rushed for 51 yards against the Sooners, but he also had 10 catches for 104 yards and a touchdown. The year before. in 2020, Vaughn had four catches for 129 yards in the upset win against OU at home.

No other way to put it, if you want to escape the upset-worthy Wildcats, you have to contain Vaughn, or else you find yourself in a back-and-forth battle.
