What OU RB Joe Mixon said to media following release of vicious video
On Friday afternoon, Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon addressed the media following the release of the footage in which he’s seen punching a woman named Amelia Molitor.
The incident took place during Mixon’s freshman year in 2014. He was suspended for the entire season as a result. Video of the act didn’t get released publicly until just a few days ago.
Head coach Bob Stoops made these recent comments as it pertained to Mixon. Two days later, it was Mixon’s turn to address the video:
