NORMAN – Jay Boulware was a few feet away from Oklahoma’s running backs immediately following the Rose Bowl loss.
“I’m extremely proud of those guys and, really, all year the whole group has done a phenomenal job replacing two quality backs like Samaje (Perine) and Joe (Mixon) and us not missing a beat and making it to the College Football Playoff,” OU’s running backs coach said inside the locker room on Jan. 1.
“Not only did they replace them, they did a great job in doing so. Our average per rush is as high as it’s been and Rodney (Anderson) rushing for over 1,000 this year.
