NORMAN, Okla. – Under new offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley, Oklahoma’s offense has looked eerily similar to Texas Tech’s pass-happy offense this season.
Saturday, it took a step back in time, with a rushing game that produced Barry Switzer’s old wishbone Saturday – even if it was a bit more spread out.
Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon ran for a combined 355 yards and six touchdowns as the Sooners defeated the Red Raiders 63-27 at Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium.
It needed every yard early as Texas Tech’s defense was up to its usual tricks – giving up huge chunks of yards and then finding a way to steal the ball.
