It’s time for another update on our Countdown to Kickoff! With today being the eve of August, there are just 32 days between now and the return of Oklahoma Football. For today’s countdown topic, I want to highlight two Oklahoma Sooners who churned out yards like nobody’s business. I’m talking about Mike Gaddis and Samaje Perine.
In 1988, Barry Switzer’s Oklahoma squad featured six different ball carriers who each accounted for at least 300 rushing yards. One of those backs was Mike Gaddis, a Midwest City product who had to fight for carries in a crowded backfield, and boy did he earn himself some carries.
