Oklahoma RB Samaje Perine pulled a muscle in his leg during the first half of the Sooners' 38-17 win over Kansas State, coach Bob Stoops announced after the game.

Perine exited the game during OU's second drive of the day and never returned. Stoops said that the junior could have played, if needed.
