FILE - In this Sept. 20, 2014, file photo, Oklahoma's Samaje Perine (32) reaches to stiff-arm a West Virginia defender during the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game in Morgantown, W.Va. Oklahoma's Samaje Perine rattles teeth, opens eyes and plants bad memories in would-be tacklers who are left adjusting their helmets and soothing aching muscles. Perine did all that a year ago against West Virginia, when the 243-pound tank ran for 242 yards and scored four touchdowns against the Mountaineers. On Saturday, West Virginia defenders are expecting more of the same punishment while trying to limit Perine's output when the 15th-ranked Sooners and 23rd-ranked Mountaineers meet in Norman, Oklahoma.
