From the dispatch....
Peterson backs Smith
Oklahoma junior running back Adrian Peterson finished second in the Heisman Trophy race as a freshman in 2004. His two seasons since have been punctuated by injuries ? a sprained ankle in 2005 and a broken collarbone that knocked him out in the sixth game this year.
Peterson, who played for the Sooners last night, said he couldn?t bear to watch the Heisman ceremony on TV in 2005, but he tuned in this year when OSU quarterback Troy Smith won the award.
"Man, he was well-deserving of the Heisman Trophy," Peterson said. "He?s a great athlete, great arm. God has truly blessed him with talents."
Sooner not a picker
While Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said he would be pulling for the Sooners last night, because they are led by Youngstown native Bob Stoops, the Oklahoma coach took the diplomatic route when asked if he has a favorite in the national championship game. Tressel and Florida coach Urban Meyer also are Ohio natives, for starters.
"I?ve got relationships both places, and good ones, so in the end, for those reasons, whether I like or dislike anything, that?s not for me to say," Stoops said.
Call it a sign
The Buckeyes were guests of the Fiesta Bowl last night, and the new University of Phoenix Stadium had to feel a lot like their home away from home just because of the d?cor. The colored seats are laid out in swaths of red and gray.
