NORMAN — Jovantae Barnes is used to waiting.
Last year as a freshman, Barnes was patient. He logged his first double-digit carry game at Oklahoma in Nebraska, carrying the ball 13 times for 77 yards in OU’s 49-14 drubbing of the Cornhuskers.
The next week, he didn’t touch the ball against Kansas State before breaking out with 18 rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns in Week 5 against TCU.
Barnes finished the year as the Sooners’ No. 2 back behind Eric Gray, rushing for 519 yards.
