OU football: Perine's big block set up Mayfield's overtime touchdown

Samaje Perine has made plenty of excellent plays with the ball in his hands.

Saturday in the first overtime, he made one away from the football.

On fourth down from the 1, quarterback Baker Mayfield kept the ball on a zone-read play where the other option was handing off to Perine.

Perine’s directive on the play when Mayfield keeps is to carry out the fake to the line to draw attention but he saw cornerback Emmanuel Moseley crashing and threw a block on Moseley, allowing Mayfield to slip past linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin and into the end zone.
