Oklahoma’s Mayfield, Perine, and Mixon to Play vs. Oklahoma State
However, the Sooners offense got rolling soon after with a huge Samaje Perine touchdown run.
Sooners head man Bob Stoops says the signal-caller is expected to play per Cliff Brunt of the Associated Press, which is great news for the team to have the Heisman candidate back under center with one win away from clinching a playoff spot. He did pass all the concussion tests and Stoops said that Mayfield has practiced all week.
The junior from Austin (TX) has completed 68.7 percent of his passes for 3,209 yards, 33 touchdowns and five interceptions in 2015. Rudolph entered the game for one possession in the second quarter, and he threw three incomplete passes, including an interception that Jordan Thomas returned 32 yards for a touchdown. Gundy said he didn’t feel Rudolph would be able to protect himself against Oklahoma, so J.W. Walsh got most of the reps during the week in preparation for a game that would determine the Big 12 champion.
Mixon was supposed to take the handoff to the left, but the Oklahoma State defense had that lane blocked off. The freshman broke free of a tackle and reversed fields to the right side. “Between the two running backs and Mayfield, they’re good players”.
Oklahoma comes into Saturday’s rivalry game with a lot at stake. The Sooners led 44-20 at the break. “I knew our guys were ready and I knew what we were playing for”.
The 66-yard score pulled the Sooners ahead 21-10 over their rivals early in the second quarter.
