Unfortunately that is the most immediate need and hasn't been addressed. If they can't stop the run again in 2014 it will be a long year.
I was also noticing from the video that Warren is running behind a pretty solid O line ... maybe we should be looking at some of his linemen!
(BTW -- they sure like that cutback play, don't they?!?)

Jalin Barnett being most notable OU calls dibs
Warrens a good, explosive back. Probably was #3 on the OU target board this late (Mixon,Starks,Warren) I love seeing OK Preps kids go FBS, will be a big fan of his outside of one saturday each fall
Now that is what I call a highlight video.
Hells Bells, Warren would be a great, great get.
Great speed, ability to make people miss, and vision to recognize the running lanes. Incredible highlight reel.....but being picky, I don't see hardly any highlights actually breaking tackles. Nonetheless, perhaps he is so good (versus the competition I these highlights ) that he did not have to exhibit this ability and he actually has it. Just didn't see it in this highlight reel. Still....would be a huge get. Looks way faster than Mister in my opinion, but Mister has that slower deceptively fast gate. Different backs, but both would look good wearing the cardinal and gold.
Nealy is solid, but he'll be a senior. Not sure what you've seen from Standard that I haven't.
Pierson and Luna constitute "not addressed" to you?
Sure, I'd like another nose tackle for depth beyond Cousin--if Jensen isn't back--but a guy like Outing would be an excellent get for the future, not necessarily next Fall.
Back on topic, I really like Warren's speed and vision. I hope we can land him--and maybe have a bit of an "in" with his '15 offensive linemen teammates.
FWIW I've heard Standard may take on a role similar to that of Woodys. A reliable, big, straight ahead, short yardage RB
I've always thought Standard has been under utilized. Granted, I'm not seeing him in practices, but in the spring game he was noticeable. Probably doesn't have the speed of Nealy or Wimberely but he's a slighting bigger and more physical back who runs hard. I've always thought if he was ready he could really give a beneficial change of pace to the offense.
