OU football: Perine's ankle little worry in Bedlam rout

A year ago, an ankle injury to running back Samaje Perine opened the door for Oklahoma State to comeback in Bedlam.

Saturday night, Perine's got on a roll early and then bounced back from aggravating an ankle injury to top 3,000 career rushing yards in the Sooners' 58-23 rout.

Perine broke off a 68-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter that gave the Sooners the lead for good.

He later added a 25-yard touchdown run and finished with 17 carries for 131 yards.

"He's really taken it upon himself," center Ty Darlington said.
