(7/5) AD Heisman Campaign, and Sooner Articles
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
No Bobble-heads, statistics speak for itself: When Adrian Peterson spoke to nearly 50 members of the media Thursday in a national conference call, it was actually step one in the Oklahoma running back's Heisman Trophy campaign. Actually, OU's method of campaigning is really to not campaign. In Bob Stoops' seven seasons at the Sooner helm, Josh Heupel, Roy Williams, Jason White and Peterson have all been serious Heisman contenders. However, Stoops has always maintained that the program’s tradition and the national attention the team receives is sufficient promotion. OU media relations director Kenny Mossman has overseen all but Heupel's campaign. Mossman said Peterson's conference call was as good of a way to reach Heisman voters as anything at this point in the summer. More conference calls during the season might be utilized to handle all the media requests for Peterson. Mossman said he would mail postcards to media outlets with Peterson's statistical data, but little more was planned. In other words, no AD bobble-heads or any other trinkets. (NewsOK.com)
