STILLWATER, Okla. -- After finishing 114th out of 128 Division I schools in rushing offense last season, No. 21 Oklahoma State is hoping for an improved ground attack this year.Barry J. Sanders, a transfer from Stanford and the son of former Oklahoma State Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders, joins three returning running backs, as well as highly touted freshman Justice Hill, to give the Cowboys a deep group that will compete for playing time.As the Cowboys prepare for their season opener against Southeastern Louisiana on Sept. 3, it seems that a running back-by-committee approach will prevail, as none of the five has separated themselves from the herd.Right now, its a group that will share time, coach Mike Gundy said. Were hoping that the addition of Justice, and then Junior (Sanders), working with what we had last year, will give us a good 75-80 plays a game.Senior Chris Carson led Oklahoma State in rushing last year with 517 yards on 131 carries (a 3.9-yard average), along with four touchdowns, while recording 17 receptions for 170 yards.Senior Rennie Childs gained 281 yards and two touchdowns on 72 rushes (a 3.9-yard average), while sophomore Chris Carr also compiled a 3.9-yard average with 142 yards rushing and one TD on 36 carries.At Stanford, Sanders picked up 315 yards and four touchdowns on 51 rushes (a 6.2-yard average).With the addition of Hill, a true freshman from Tulsa who has turned heads with his play in camp, any of the running backs is likely to see the field at some point -- Gundy is just not sure who will get the most snaps.A lot of times, its just by feel, Gundy said of dividing up the playing time. A guy gets hot, you leave him in, a guy gets tired, youve got to get him out and put somebody else in. We may not know what to do at that position until the third or fourth game of the year.Despite averaging just 126.8 yards per game rushing last season, the Cowboys offense still amassed 480 yards per game overall, ranking 22nd in the nation, en route to a 10-3 record, thanks to a potent aerial attack led by quarterback Mason Rudolph.It appears that the inclusion of Sanders, as well as Hill, to the group has sparked improvements in the holdovers from last season.One thing that I have enjoyed watching is that Chris Carsons work ethic and approach, and Rennies work ethic, has been really good, Gundy said. Whether it has been (because of) Junior or just them wanting to improve an area on our team that we need to help improve the overall picture has been good.Carson agreed that the infusion of new talent has provided additional motivation for the returning running backs to upgrade their game.With (Sanders) coming in, its just going to make everybody else better, Carson said. The run game as a unit will be a lot better. Of course its going to make me work harder, its going to make Rennie work harder, everybody else in the running backs work harder. With him coming in, thats a great addition for us as a team because I feel like we are just one step away from that Big 12 (championship).Carr, who also returned kickoffs as a freshman last year, averaging 21.5 yards on 29 returns, believes there has been an increase in competitiveness in practice, as each player tries to stake his claim to a spot in the rotation.Everyones competing at a high level and thinks they can be the guy, Carr said. Everyone feels like they can help the team.John Brooks USA Jersey .5 million, one-year contract on Friday.

A late strike from Yannick Bolasie held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw at the Emirates on Sunday When asked if criticism makes the team keen to prove doubters wrong, the defender told Sky Sports News HQ: Certainly. It has never been different. There have always been rumours and always been criticism, but the group is always strongest when we stick to each other.We went through a difficult period in my time at Arsenal in these years, and we always came back stronger. The one thing we missed out was to be consistent over the season.That is a criticism we have to face and I have no doubt the group will grow, even when everyone expected us to win something this year. I think as long as the team is still hungry, still wants to go for it, thats going to be the key. As long as we keep that, we have the opportunity to get 15 points out of the five games. Then lets see what the outcome is.A 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace has left Arsenal in a battle to secure a top-four finish, and Mertesacker, who slammed his teams indiscipline on Tuesday, believes their attacking philosophy has cost them at times this season. Arsene Wenger is unconcerned that some Arsenal season ticket holders have returned their tickets for their game against West Brom We are team that likes to play forward, likes to play an offensive style, he added.dddddddddddd We like to play to keep ourselves in positions where we get into the next attack, but we have to be more cautious about coming back and being behind the ball together.We missed a lot of chances. Weve had a lot of opportunities throughout this season to be in a better position.Those are regrets we do have, but still its very difficult to look back at the minute and think, we were in top spot. We just have to go for it now, there is no other solution for us.Watch Arsenal v West Brom live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 7pm, or watch live for £6.99 without a contract, on NOW TV.Also See:Wenger: Im staying putSky Live: Arsenal v West BromSanchez and Ozil can waitArsene incredibly unlucky ' ' '
