Peterson named Offensive National player of the week: Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson has been named the national offensive player of the week by the Walter Camp Foundation. The sophomore received the honor for his performance in OU's 42-14 trouncing of Oklahoma State, Saturday. Peterson carried 24 times for 237 yards and two touchdowns in the Sooner victory. It marked the third time in two seasons that Peterson won the honor. On Monday, Peterson also was named the Big 12 Conference's Offensive Player of the Week. The Palestine, Texas, native scored against the Cowboys on runs of 84, the longest of his career, and 71 yards. He picked up 210 yards in the second half, the highest single half total in school history. Former Heisman Trophy winner Billy Sims held the old mark with 206 yards against Missouri in the second half of the 1979 game. (Sooner Sports PR)

Venables hasn't spoken with KSU: With the end of the regular season, OU defensive coordinator Brent Venables has the time to talk to Kansas State officials about their head-coaching vacancy. But Venables said nothing had been scheduled. "I haven't spoken to them," Venables said. "I'm at Oklahoma. If that happens, I would be excited about that opportunity. But I also love coaching linebackers. I love coming to work every day and going into that meeting room. If the timing is right, it will happen. And if not, I couldn't be in a better situation."
