Joe Mixon sparking Oklahoma as backfield wingman

The last time Oklahoma faced Kansas, Samaje Perine was a one-man wrecking crew, wrecking the Jayhawks for 427 rushing yards on the way to breaking an FBS record.

Saturday, the Sooners meet Kansas again. Only this time, they'll arrive in Lawrence with a two-man wrecking crew out of their backfield. And while Perine is still the main main, redshirt freshman Joe Mixon has emerged as quite the dynamic sidekick.

"He's just as good and can do just as much damage," Perine said. "It's a great thing to have."

And a nightmare to defend.
