Beano cook answers a question about Adrian Peterson
Daniel (Dallas): Beano, do you think A. Peterson is better now than
Maurice Clarrett was as a freshman?
Beano Cook: (3:42 PM ET ) I would
say yes. But somebody might disagree with me and they might be right. I think
Peterson has better speed and may be better in the open field. Clarett might be
more powerful. But again, I might be 100 percent wrong.
Beano Cook: (3:43 PM ET )
Peterson is the best freshman back since Herschel Walker in 1980.

Sooner Freshman Clearly Leads Heisman Race from SW Times
Arkansas
While today’s presidential election is too close to call, if the Heisman Trophy
vote was held today there would
be a runaway winner — Oklahoma’s Adrian
Peterson.
As a Heisman elector, I get scads of promotional materials each week. The
various universities should save their time and money because Oklahoma’s Adrian
Peterson is hands down the best player in college football.
Without him, the Sooners might have lost two or three games this year. If he
stays healthy, Peterson might be
the driving force behind yet another national
championship for OU.
One of the things that makes Peterson especially special is how he puts up
PlayStation-like statistics in important games. The kid ran for 225 yards
against Texas and then 249 against Oklahoma State. He’s averaging 6.1 yards per
carry. (For comparison, Arkansas’ running back by committee yields just 4.3
yards per carry.)
Adrian Peterson is the Cingular/ABC Sports All America Player of the Week For the Second Time!!!!

You have to admit, the Heisman field is muddled, I don't see any QB putting up
unreal numbers. It's AD's trophy to win.
And talk about big time running? Adrian Peterson, in OU's two biggest games,
runs for 225 yards vs. Texas and 249 yards vs. OSU. Adrian Peterson is a big
time runner, running wild in the big games.
