The single-game rushing record that last week took 15 years to break has been broken once again. Oklahoma’s Samaje Perine rushed for 427 yards and five touchdowns on 34 carries against Kansas on Saturday, breaking the record of 408 yards set just last week by Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon. TCU’s LaDanian Tomlinson set the original record of 406 against UTEP in 1999. Perine, a freshman, made and surpassed the record on a 42-yard scamper early in the fourth quarter. The Sooners called timeout, got the game ball and celebrated the accomplishment on the field. Perine was then taken out of the game.
