(10/3) Adrian Peterson 'No Regrets', AD Game Plan and Oklahoma Articles
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
AD has no regrets: Adrian Peterson never imagined that he would be in this position, never thought he would be asked about regrets. When Peterson, the consensus national high school player of the year in 2003 elected to cross the border, from Palestine High School into Oklahoma for college, he offered a practical reason. Oklahoma, the gifted running back suggested, had a better chance to win national championships than the Longhorns. Did he ever believe that Texas would win that race against Oklahoma? "No," Peterson said on Monday. Even so, Peterson said he has not second-guessed himself. "No regrets at all," he said. Peterson said he knows a few of the Longhorns, particularly defensive tackle Frank Okam. They met after their senior seasons in high school at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl game. "I talk to Frank every now and then," Peterson said. "He likes showing that (championship) ring off." (Austin American-Statesman)
OU expects eight-nine men in the box: It's expected Texas, thinking their defensive backs are good enough to cover OU's receivers one-on-one, will put eight and nine defenders near the line to stop Peterson. "I'm pretty sure they'll find out that if they put nine guys in the box," Peterson said, "we've got guys that are pretty good receivers out there that can make plays." (Tulsa World)
Texas' Robison plans to play: Texas defensive end Brian Robison, who didn't play last week against Sam Houston State because of a knee injury, said Monday he will play against Oklahoma Saturday in Dallas. Texas officials don't disclose specific injury information. Robison was injured when he was leg-whipped by an Iowa State offensive lineman Sept. 23. But Robison said he was about 75 percent healthy last Saturday and could have played. "We just decided it would probably be safer if we didn't," Robison said. Robison said he expects a decision to be made by Wednesday or Thursday as to how much he will play against OU. (NewsOK.com)
Peterson's father waits to see son play: Peterson said his father, Nelson Peterson -- remanded to an Oklahoma City halfway house after seven years in a federal penitentiary -- can't attend Saturday's OU-Texas game. Nelson will be allowed to attend next week's Iowa State game, the first time he's seen his son play live since seventh grade. "It's been tough," Nelson Peterson said. "You know, you're 20 minutes up the road and you can't come down and see your son play." (Tulsa World)
