If the Kansas State defense does its job Saturday against Oklahoma, it won't have any problem getting RBs Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine to the ground, according to Wildcats DE Reggie Walker.

"I talked to Jordan Willis about that because he played them before, and he would just tell me that they're pretty easy to tackle," Walker told reporters Tuesday. "If you do your assignments, you know, wrap up and just get them down, they'll go down if you hit them hard."

In Oklahoma's 55-0 shutout of Kansas State last season, Perine gained 56 yards on 11 rushes. Mixon rushed for 73 yards on 15 attempts. The pair added a combined 49 yards on five catches.

This season, Perine has pulled to within 600 yards of Oklahoma's all-time rushing record. He's the Big 12's second-leading rusher with an average of 92.2 yards per game.

Mixon, on the other hand, is fourth in the country and first in the conference in all-purpose yards with 179 per game. The sophomore averages 77.6 yards on the ground and 34.8 yards receiving -- second and third on the team, respectively. He has returned one kickoff for a touchdown.

OU QB Baker Mayfield took notice of Walker's comments Tuesday evening.
