How did Crawford not score against OU?

West Virginia tailback Justin Crawford torched Oklahoma for 331 rushing yards on 24 carries Saturday night in the Mountaineers' 56-28 loss, conjuring memories of WVU's Tavon Austin, who rushed for 344 yards on 21 carries in a 50-49 loss to OU in 2012.

But Mountaineer coach Dana Holgorsen said be careful with the comparisons.

“I have a hard time comparing him to Tavon,” Holgorsen said. “Tavon gets out in open field, he scores. Crawford, 331 yards, zero touchdowns. I don't know how that's even possible.
