(7/27) Post OU Big XII Media Day, AD eyes Elite Group

Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes

Peterson eyes set on record-breaking season: The Heisman runner-up as a freshman in 2004, Peterson disclosed Wednesday that he has a number in mind that he'd like to surpass for his rushing total this season: 2,200 yards. "My dad told me to reach for the moon. If you fall short, you'll still be amongst the stars. That's what I do. I set my goals high," Peterson said on the final day of the Big 12's annual media days. "I'm going after it. If I fall short, hopefully I'll still be in that range among the stars. That's how I look at it." Peterson burst onto the scene two years ago, when he ran for an NCAA freshman record 1,925 yards on 339 carries, the most in the nation. He had 1,108 yards as a sophomore last season, when he missed two games and was limited in two others because of injuries. Despite those humble answers, Peterson still made clear his desire to earn a spot among college football's elite. Only two players have ever eclipsed 2,200 yards in a single season -- Barry Sanders had 2,628 for Oklahoma State in 1988 and Marcus Allen had 2,342 for Southern California in 1981. LaDainian Tomlinson came close in 2000, when he piled up 2,158 yards with TCU. And Troy Davis had 2,185 in 1996 for Iowa State. Those numbers may seem small to Peterson, who ran for 2,960 yards and 32 touchdowns as a senior in high school. (AP/SoonerSports)

Peterson on Texas winning NC: When Peterson chose OU over Texas one of the biggest reasons he cited was he thought he had a better chance of winning a national championship with the Sooners. Since Texas won the national championship last season, he was asked if he had any regrets. "No regrets at all," he said. "If I could go back and change things, I wouldn't do it. Things happen for a reason. When we play Texas this year we're going to find out who is the better team." Peterson even admitted having a rooting interest in last year's Rose Bowl. "I watched it and I was rooting for (Texas)," he said. "I have a lot of friends that play at Texas." (Norman Transcript)
