Alex Barnes is starting to look like the best running back in the Big 12.
For now, it’s a subjective competition between Barnes, Kansas star Pooka Williams and Oklahoma State’s Justice Hill. But it’s getting hard to ignore Barnes after his past two games. He has been unstoppable.
Barnes was certainly the best running back on the field during Kansas State’s 31-12 victory over Oklahoma State on Saturday at Snyder Family Stadium. Not only did he lead the Wildcats on offense with 181 yards and four touchdowns on 34 carries (plus three catches for 51 yards) he ran circles around Hill, who finished with 41 yards on seven carries.
