Oklahoma wins opener against UAB 24-17
Peterson helps Oklahoma past UAB: It's all about Adrian for Oklahoma. With Paul Thompson still settling in as Oklahoma's quarterback, Adrian Peterson helped the 10th-ranked Sooners avert a second straight season-opening disaster by running for 139 yards and scoring twice in the second half of a 24-17 win over UAB on Saturday night. "I wouldn't say we escaped," Peterson said. "We came out and we fought." Thompson proved inconsistent in his return to quarterback after nearly a year away, but Peterson took control by running for 83 yards in the second half as the Sooners' offense became almost completely reliant on him.
