Oklahoma running back Keith Ford has been indefinitely suspended for academic and team rules violations, coach Bob Stoops announced Monday.
Ford rushed for 369 yards and five touchdowns in eight total games with three starts, but saw his carries decrease after suffering a broken fibula against Tennessee and the emergence of Samaje Perine.
Before being injured, Ford led the Big 12 in scoring through the first three games.
Ford’s suspension opens up a very crowded backfield for the Sooners. Perine, an All-American, is the incumbent, followed by junior Alex Ross, sophomore Daniel Brooks and freshmen Joe Mixon and Rodney Anderson, who suffered a sprained MCL and will miss the rest of spring practices.
