Adrian Peterson

[midgetonadonkey]

Is entering the draft. With any luck he'll be the next Rashaan Salaam.

[johngateswhiteley]

they just mentioned, on cold pizza, that Peterson never fumbled at Oklahomo. is that right? if so, wow, i didn't realize that.

[Duff McCartney]

I could have sworn that I saw him fumble once against Texas during his freshman year.

[BeerIsGood!]

He fumbled against Texas this year when one of the Griffins tagged him early in the game. Cold Pizza reporting cracker jack as usual... :drunk

was it a lost fumble, maybe they were referring to lost fumbles? although, they did say fumble...so they would be wrong about that.

but was the fumble lost?

[johngateswhiteley]

well, i guess Cold Pizza was right...

[BeerIsGood!]

Yeah, it was a lost fumble. I remember thinking we dodged a bullet because they were driving pretty well with Peterson running up until that point. That was early in the game, so the accumulation of Dos XX from the day at the Cotton Bowl had yet to take effect.

Hmm, I'd like to see the tape on that. I'm almost positive he fumbled when he was upended by Griffin resulting in a turnover.

[Horry For 3!]

Yeah, Marcus Griffin lit up Peterson and he fumbled, Texas recovered.

It's at about the 1:15 mark - AP fumbles and UT recovers

good evidence. but i can't believe these people can't get stats right, it either happened or it didn't. its not hard ESPN....man thats ridiculous.

only thing i can think of, was the play reversed cause the t.u. players were out of bounds when they recovered or did the call stand and t.u. take over? cause it did look like Peterson fumbled before he was down.

No, it was a fumble and Texas got the ball. One of the 4 turnovers we got that day



also, can anyone tell what the Texas players are chanting in the entrance ramp at the very beginning of the clip? Just curious

Hard to fumble when you're sitting on the bench hurt.

well, then ESPN is pathetic. thanks for the info. as for what t.u. is chanting....who cares :)

I think peterson will be an excellent pro, no way in hell he should go after brady quinn

[Pugglekicker_21]

he has a the skills but the one mark is durability

i cant remember if he got injured in his freshmen year but i know the injury this year was a fluke

[midgetonadonkey]

Brady Quinn will probably go number 1 or 2. Hopefully Peterson falls to the Texans. They need an injury prone back to backup Dominick Davis, another injury prone back.

[BeerIsGood!]

Quinn will be a career backup. Sean Salisbury reborn.

[kskonn]

I don't see how Quinn with amount to much but Peterson has a shoot to be a decent back. Good size and decent speed.


seriously? Quinn has all of the skills to be a great nfl quarterback. Running backs are a lot easier to find late in the draft than quarterbacks, if there is a solid quarterback on the board you have to take them. To say you can't see how quinn will amount to much is insane, remember the guy won a lot of games without a defense he is going to be a solid quarterback.

[mookie2001]

there are like 3 brady quinns every year too, he won alot of games because he played 4 years against avg competition

[mardigan]

Yeah, not really to high on any qbs in the draft this year, Russel has a great arm, but so-so decision making, Quinn couldnt ever win against good competition, Troy Smith just plain sucks, Zabransky is fast as hell but didnt get to see him play enough. I do like Brennan though, he seems tough, has moxy, and a deadly arm. I would definately like the Boys to try and get him in the 2nd or early 3rd round.

[mardigan]

And if Peterson stays healthy, could be the next Larry Johnson. Anyone that watched him play through the years kows their is no way he ends up as the next Rashaam. One of his injurys wasnt even something teams will worry about.He missed 7 games this year and still had 1000 yards. How could any team that needs a rb pass this guy up
