Patrick goes 69 yards...then gets outdone
OU's Allen Patrick uncorked a 69-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Then he got trumped.
Redshirt freshman DeMarco Murray zipped 92 yards for a third-quarter TD against Utah State, the third-longest run in OU history and the fourth-longest play from scrimmage.
"DeMarco's one of those guys, when he hits a seam, he's hard to catch,” said OU coach Bob Stoops.
How rare was the length of the run? Only eight previous plays from scrimmage in OU history covered at least 90 yards:
| Yards | Play | Opp. | Year |
| 96 | Jeff Frazier run | N. Texas | 1995 |
| 96 | Buck McPhail run | Kansas State | 1951 |
| 95 | Ben Hart pass from Ronnie Fletcher | Fla. State | 1965 |
| 92 | DeMarco Murray run | Utah State | 2007 |
| 91 | Jimmy Harris run | Kansas | 1954 |
| 90 | Mike Thomas run | Oregon | 1972 |
| 90 | George Thomas run | Oklahoma State | 1949 |
| 90 | P.J. Mills pass from Eric Moore | Iowa State | 1995 |
| 90 | Lance Rentzel pass from John Hammond | Maryland | 1964 |
| 89 | Darrell Shepard run | Colorado | 1980 |
