Colorado TB Chris Brown
versus
Oklahoma MLB Lance Mitchell
Brown has become the Diana Ross of the Buffaloes' supreme trio of tailbacks, which includes Bobby Purify and the injured Marcus Houston. A 6'3", 220-pound junior, Brown leads the nation in rushing, with 162.9 yards per game on a workhorse average of 24 carries. The 6'3", 245-pound Mitchell, a junior who transferred to Norman in December 2001, has made a seamless transition from City College of San Francisco. In the win over Texas he had a team-high II tackles as the Sooners held Cedric Benson to 54 rushing yards.
