NORMAN — Rhamondre Stevenson didn’t have to lift his shirt to make another statement Saturday.
In OU’s 62-9 drubbing of Kansas, the running back showed with clarity that he’s not only the Sooners’ best running back but all of the sudden he’s inviting comparisons to some of the great OU running backs of the Lincoln Riley era.
Stevenson battered the Jayhawks in a variety of ways, being hard to pick up and hard to bring down for any defenders, much less Kansas’ struggling group.
Stevenson wasn’t Samaje Perine against the Jayhawks in 2014 — of course no player in college football history could measure up to that 427-yard performance — but with his 104-yard, two-touchdown performance plus four receptions for 60 yards, it was Perine who drew Riley’s comparison.
