Welcome back to another episode of our 2020 Countdown to Kickoff series! As of this Thursday, the Oklahoma Sooners are set to return to the football field in just 72 days. Speaking of which, I want to take a short trip down memory lane to highlight the longest run for OU’s all-time career rushing leader — Samaje Perine.
The date was Nov. 21, 2015. For Oklahoma, it was Senior Night inside the Palace on the Prairie, and the No. 7 Sooners were in contention to qualify for a CFP semifinal. Two more regular season games were all that stood in the way, although the first of which was up against the wily Gary Patterson and his TCU Horned Frogs.
