NORMAN, Okla. -- Samaje Perine is set to surpass all the great Oklahoma running backs and claim the schools career rushing mark.Billy Sims record of 4,118 yards has stood since 1979. Perine ranks fifth in Oklahoma history behind Sims, Joe Washington, Adrian Peterson and Steve Owens, but he needs just 83 yards to reach the top. Sims won the Heisman in 1978, Washington and Peterson were All-Americans who finished high in the Heisman voting and Owens won the Heisman in 1969. Perine already has passed Quentin Griffin, DeMarco Murray, 1952 Heisman winner Billy Vessels and Greg Pruitt, among others.Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley wants to see Perine break the record when the seventh-ranked Sooners face No. 17 Auburn in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2 .It would mean something, Riley said. Its not why we do it and its not why were going there, but hes (Perine) such a special guy -- a special guy to me. Its obviously a very historic record.Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield and wide receiver Dede Westbrook were Heisman finalists this year, but no one did more damage the final three games than Perine, a 235-pound bruiser with breakaway speed. After his 37-carry, 239-yard performance against Oklahoma State that clinched the Big 12 for the Sooners put him within striking distance of Sims, he said the record wasnt a concern.I havent thought about that since we started the season, Perine said. Thats really not what I play for. I just go out and do whatever I can to help my team win.Perine burst onto the scene with 1,713 yards rushing his freshman year, the sixth-best total in school history, and 21 touchdowns. He ran for a FBS-record 427 yards against Kansas that season, a record that still stands. As a sophomore, he added 1,349 yards and 16 touchdowns.He has rushed for 974 yards and 11 touchdowns this year, despite missing two games and most of a third with an injury.This season, Perine ran for 214 yards and two touchdowns in a win over Texas and was among the Big 12s top rushers before pulling a muscle in his right leg the next week against Kansas State. He missed the next two games, against Texas Tech and Iowa State. He returned against Baylor to run for 100 yards and two touchdowns in a 45-24 victory . He followed with 31 carries for 160 yards against West Virginia in a 56-28 win , then finished the regular season with the outburst against Oklahoma State.Perine could have added a late touchdown against Oklahoma State, but he took a knee near the goal line to help the clock run out in Oklahomas 38-20 win.I mean, whats the point of scoring? Perine said. Were already up by two touchdowns. Theres only a few seconds left, so theres really no need to run up the score, so I just did what I thought was the right thing to do.Hes done all this damage while splitting time with Joe Mixon, a strong NFL prospect, the past two years. Typically, Perine punishes opponents most late in the season and late in games. Oklahoma defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said Perines damage has helped him.Hes helped our defense more than anybody, probably, he said. The ability to run the football and run games out, for us, was huge. We didnt have a defense that was built to stay on the field long periods of time.Stoops is glad Perine is on his side.To see somebody run -- thats disheartening to any defense when a guy, you know hes going to run it, and they still run it, he said. The whole fourth quarter of the game (against Oklahoma State), I mean, he just ran it and ran it and ran it, and theres nothing they can do. ---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/CliffBruntAP .

Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. Marcell Ozuna Jersey . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. PHOENIX -- Vincente Campos served an important role in an otherwise forgettable night for the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday.With Arizona trailing by nine runs, Campos relieved and chewed up 5 2/3 innings in his major league debut to save the Diamondbacks bullpen in a 13-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds.Campos allowed three runs, two earned, and four hits in relief of starter Zack Godley. He struck out two and allowed two homers while throwing 82 pitches.It was the fourth longest relief appearance ever by a Diamondback, and the longest in a big league debut since Kyle Lobstein threw 5 2/3 innings for Detroit in Aug. 2014.Arizonas bullpen was already thin after playing extra innings in two of its previous three games.He gave us a chance to win the series (Sunday), manager Chip Hale said. Without his outing we would have had to use everybody out of the bullpen.Campos, a starter throughout his career, said it wasnt a big deal to throw so many innings.The manager gave me the opportunity and it came right away, he said through an interpreter.Anthony DeSclafani threw a four-hitter and Scott Schebler homered twice to lift Cincinnati.DeSclafani (8-2) had nine strikeouts and a walk, needing 108 pitches to throw the first complete game of his career.Joey Votto and Schebler homered during a four-run first inning and Schebler homered again during a five-run second, all against Godley (4-3). Schebler had a career-high five RBI and three hits in the first multihomer game of his career.Zack Cozart hit his 16th homer in the fourth inning and Adam Duvall got his 29th homer in the eighth, both solo shots.DeSclafani has been outstanding since beginning the season on the disabled list with an oblique injury.dddddddddddd He made his first start June 10 and began the year 6-0, and his ERA after Saturdays gem is 2.96. The nine innings were a career high after he twice went eight innings earlier this season.Its a cool accomplishment. Im definitely going to enjoy it, said DeSclafani, who struck out nine. I tried staying focused the whole game like it was 0-0.Brandon Phillips went 3 for 4 with two RBI for Cincinnati.Stars for both teams were subbed out long before the game ended. Votto and the Diamondbacks Paul Goldschmidt each played six innings.ALUMNI ACTIONThe Diamondbacks held their annual alumni game earlier Saturday between former players wearing throwback red and purple jerseys. The starting pitchers were Rodrigo Lopez, now a broadcaster, and Elmer Dessens.Reggie Sanders tripled in Alex Cintron and Willie Bloomquist doubled in a run for the red team, but Andy Stankiewicz and former pitcher Stephen Randolph each doubled in two runs off J.J. Putz to lead the purple team to a 5-2 win in the three-inning game.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: 2B Jean Segura left after two innings due to illness. Segura walked to lead off the first but was replaced by Brandon Drury at second base to begin the third.UP NEXTReds: RHP Homer Bailey (2-2) starts against Arizona on Sunday. Itll be his first career start at Chase Field. Bailey has at least one win against every NL team except Arizona.Diamondbacks: RHP Archie Bradley (4-8) lost to the Reds on July 22 in his only other career start against them. ' ' '
