Perine is better than Mixon

There’s a reason two different coaching staffs (Oklahoma and here) have made Perine the backup to Mixon.

Look, I love his running style as much as anyone. Dude is literally out there dribbling guys to the ground, but we don’t need to bench a weapon like Mixon just because Perine runs hard. The ideal scenario is to have them split carries pretty evenly - maybe slightly favoring Mixon.

Not that this matters too much for the overall point of this thread, but Mixon was the backup. Not Perine. Perine was the starter all three years he was at OU.
