OU has two of the nation's 'most explosive' running backs

To determine the nation's most explosive running back, SBNation.com calculated 2014 players with at least 30 "opportunities" and a 6-plus average of "highlight yards" per opportunity. Confusing, we know, but stick around.

Of the power conference backs, an OU rusher came out No. 1.

No, not Semaje Perine (who ranked eighth on the list).
