    OU: Peterson out for season with broken collarbone

    I just got the alert from AP at work:

    NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson has a broken collarbone and likely will miss the rest of the season, coach Bob Stoops said.

      OU: Peterson out for season with broken collarbone

      NORMAN, Okla. -- Last month, Adrian Peterson told The Oklahoman the one thing that could keep him from leaving for the NFL after this season was a major injury. But the Sooner star probably never expected that possibility to come into play.
      Peterson, a Heisman Trophy hopeful and the fourth-leading rusher in Oklahoma history, broke his collarbone on a dive into the end zone Saturday, and will miss the rest of the regular season.

      Peterson was injured on his last carry of the game -- a 53-yard scoring run with about 6:40 remaining that completed the 23rd-ranked Sooners' 34-9 win over Iowa State.

      Peterson ran for 183 yards and two touchdowns.
      "My goals when I got here were to win a national championship first and then have an opportunity to win the Heisman," Peterson told The Oklahoman in September. "Those are the things I want to do, but the only thing right now I know for a fact that would keep me [at Oklahoma] next year is a major injury. God willing, that won't happen."

      Oklahoma running back and Heisman hopeful Adrian Peterson will likely miss the rest of the season after breaking his collarbone Saturday. Coach Bob Stoops hopes Peterson can return for a bowl game.

            Freak way he broke it too, he didnt have to dive into the endzone everyone was behind him, he didnt land overly hard or anything.

                too bad he didn't blow out his knee- then the Bills would have found a way to draft him for sure.

                      Wherever it belongs, it will change the first round of the draft Peterson was a top 5 pick. Assuming he abides by his stated intentions, this means he will come back for his senior season at Oklahoma. He was going to be a top five pick most likely.
                      I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                      I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
