(11/20) Stoops on Peterson, Schembechler and Oklahoma Columns
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Coach Stoops on Peterson postseason honors: Oklahoma tailback Adrian Peterson has missed five games, but remains on the watch list for some postseason awards, including the Doak Walker Award for the nation's best running back. Coach Bob Stoops was asked Sunday if Peterson should still be considered for postseason honors such as All-Big 12 and All-America. "I would think so," he said. "You can't deny the special player he is." Peterson's rushing total of 935 yards still ranks second in the Big 12, and his 155.8 yards per game is first. (NewsOK.com)
Stoops remembers Michigan's Bo: As a Big Ten country native -- born and raised in Ohio, played and coached in Iowa -- Stoops offered some perspective on last week's death of legendary Michigan coach Bo Schembechler Sunday. "That's sad. (He was) a special guy," Stoops said. "I'm too young to have been around him. I did have a chance to meet him at one of our coaches' conventions down in Orlando. "I grew up in Ohio, so I always watched (the Ohio State-Michigan) game and had a cousin who played for Michigan way back when. I always kind of favored Michigan a little bit growing up, because of that association. "But always respect and admire everything you read and know about (Schembechler), what he stood for, and how his teams always played." (Tulsa World)
Stoops not thinking about Bowl possibilities: Coach Bob Stoops said he has not begun to think about bowl possibilities. The Sooners are still alive for the Big 12 South title. "Too much has to happen yet, I think with everybody," he said. (Dallas Morning News)
