MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- All that strength work is paying dividends for Oklahomas bruising Samaje Perine. The 243-pound freshman almost matched his weight, rushing for 242 yards and four touchdowns to lead No. 4 Oklahoma to a 45-33 win over West Virginia in their Big 12 opener Saturday night. Perine had three TDs in the second half as Oklahoma (4-0, 1-0) pulled away from a 24-24 halftime tie. He got the bulk of the carries in place of Keith Ford, who is out for at least a week with a hairline fracture in his right fibula. Perine became the first Sooner to surpass 200 rushing yards since DeMarco Murray in 2010. Blake Bell was the last Oklahoma player to have four rushing TDs in a game against Texas in 2012. "We did a good job of hitting the holes," said Perine, who averaged 7.1 yards on 34 carries. "Coach (Bob) Stoops told me that he had confidence that I could get the job done and I just went out there and did my best." Perine was Oklahomas No. 3 back entering the season. Hes already built a reputation as a weight room beast, and his power showed against the Mountaineers. "You know about how powerful and strong he is, but he has great vision," Stoops said. "He has great stamina and is a very conditioned athlete. He works hard at his conditioning." Perine ran over two defenders and scored from 9 yards out early in the third quarter, then went up the middle for a 5-yard TD late in the quarter. His 19-yard scoring romp with 4:21 left in the game put Oklahoma ahead 45-27. "Hes tough," West Virginia linebacker Wes Tonkery said. "Hes going to be something here to watch. He does what a running back is supposed to do." Oklahoma won its eighth straight game dating to last season and its 11th road game in 12 tries. Alex Ross scored on a 100-yard kickoff return and quarterback Trevor Knight caught a 4-yard scoring pass on a trick play for the Sooners. Knight overcame a shaky start and finished 16-of-29 for 205 yards. Sterling Shepard caught six passes for 101 yards. Knight was wide open when wide receiver Durron Neal found him in the end zone after taking the ball on a double reverse in the second quarter. Clint Trickett threw for 376 yards and two touchdowns for West Virginia, (2-2, 0-1). But he was intercepted twice and lost a fumble. Trickett went 25-of-41 a week after throwing for a career-high 511 yards a week ago against Maryland. Kevin White had 10 catches for 173 yards and a score while Mario Alford caught seven passes for 101 yards and a TD. West Virginia outgained Oklahoma 513-500 but couldnt match Perines power running. Rushel Shell had a team-high 60 yards and a touchdown. "They played with more effort than we did in the second half," said West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen. "They made good adjustments at halftime. They made a bunch of plays in the second half when the game was on the line. Youve got to give them credit." Knight had early accuracy trouble and Oklahoma punted on four of its first five possessions before finding a rhythm with a pair of 75-yard touchdown drives. Alford, who dropped a pass in the left corner of the end zone in the second quarter, caught a 30-yard pass near the same spot on West Virginias next drive that initially was ruled out of bounds. The play was overturned after a review and ruled a touchdown. Perine and Shell traded short scoring runs before Ross went the length of the field on a kickoff return. It marked the third time in four games that the Mountaineers allowed a score just before halftime. China Jerseys For Sale .

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Australian Jason Day shot a 5-under 66 Saturday to take a one-stroke lead into the final round of the World Cup at Royal Melbourne. Day had a three-round total of 9-under 204 playing in his first tournament since finding out eight relatives, including his grandmother, died in Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines on Nov. 9. The wind picked up Saturday, taking away any advantage some morning rain did to slow down the slick greens. "You just have to have some patience," Day said. "I like playing difficult golf courses, thats what I do better at." Second-round leader Thomas Bjorn of Denmark shot 71 and was in second place, while American Matt Kuchar had 68 and was in third, three behind. "I felt like I was in control, as sharp as I would have liked to be," Kuchar said. "I did miss out on a couple of good opportunities, but I also made a handful and got up and down from some pretty ugly places." Stuart Manley of Wales had an incredible up-and-down day, following a hole-in-one on the third with an 11 on the fourth. But he recovered with an eagle and birdie on the back nine to finish with a 72 and tied for eighth. "The highest high to the lowest low," said Manley, who patted the roof of a car on the tee after the shot, thinking he had won it, but the car is only available for a hole-in-one during Sundays fiinal round.dddddddddddd Australia leads the World Cup team standings at 11 under, one ahead of the U.S team of Kuchar and Kevin Streelman. Italys Francesco Molinari moved up the leaderboard with a 66 and was fourth, while Streelman had a 74 and is in fifth place, five strokes out of the lead. Molinari won the World Cup with his brother Edoardo in 2009. "It was obviously a very good day," Molinari said of Saturdays round. "I seemed to play better on the front nine for some reason and then it was a bit of a battle really coming back in. I dropped a shot on 16 and holed a few nice putts for par." Masters champion Adam Scott also was tied for eighth after a 68. After an opening 75 that included an 11 on one hole, the Australian has slowly moved up the leaderboard as he attempts to win his third straight tournament. But Scott said the Royal Melbourne greens are wearing him down. He won last weeks Australian Masters at Royal Melbourne after winning the Australian PGA the week before and will try to win the Australian Open next week at Royal Sydney to capture the so-called Triple Crown. "Ive hit so many putts from 50 and 60 feet in the last two weeks, its hard to make them all the time," Scott said. "Its hard to even just two-putt them around here because youre fearful of knocking it seven or eight feet by all the time." ' ' '
