No. 22 Oklahoma 44, Kansas 7: Freshman Samaje Perine rushed for an FBS-record 427 yards - breaking the mark set by Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon last week - and five touchdowns as the Sooners prevailed in rainy Norman, Okla.

Gordon set the FBS standard with 408 yards in a 59-24 victory over Nebraska before Perine scored on runs of 27, 33, 34, 49 and a career-high 66 yards among his 34 carries. The 5-11, 243-pound Perine has 19 touchdowns this season, breaking the previous Oklahoma freshman record of 15 set by Adrian Peterson in 2004, and he also set a school record for most yards in a half with 222 prior to the break, when he scored three TDs.

Perine's 66-yard touchdown came on the Sooners' first play of the third quarter and his final score - the 27-yarder - made it 41-7 with 6:04 left in the period. Perine broke the record with a 42-yard run with a little more than 12 minutes left, prompting coach Bob Stoops to call a timeout and take his star out of the game.

Oklahoma (8-3, 5-3 Big 12) held the Jayhawks to 103 yards en route to its 10th straight victory in the series. Perine also recorded a 19-yard reception as the rest of the Sooners produced 103 yards, with freshman quarterback Cody Thomas 3-of-13 for 39 yards in his second career start.

Cassius Sendish returned a fumble 63 yards for Kansas (3-8, 1-7), which lost its 26th straight Big 12 road game. Michael Cummings was 8-of-22 for 84 yards as the Jayhawks dropped their 25 consecutive Big 12 contest when allowing 30 or more points.
