Transfer Seastrunk finally transfers his talent onto field for Baylor

Baylor running back Lache Seastrunk is finally getting a chance to show why it was such big news in Waco when he transferred from Oregon in August 2011. The Temple native had to sit out last season per NCAA transfer rules and hadn’t made much of an impact until last week against Kansas.  The sophomore rushed for 103 yards and caught five passes for 91 yards, including a 68-yard touchdown in the Bears’ 44-14 win over Kansas. Seastrunk’s 23 touches in the game nearly matched his 30 combined (29 rushing, 1 receiving) plays for the season. He only two starts have come in Baylor’s past three games.
“He’s fast,” Kansas coach Charlie Weis said. “He was a very dynamic player in that game. We knew about him, but you can’t get ready for every player.”
Baylor (4-4, 1-4) plays at No. 12 Oklahoma (6-2, 4-1) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. “He’s a good football player,” Sooners’ coach Bob Stoops said. “Makes people miss him.”
