NORMAN, Okla. -- Eighth-ranked Oklahoma will be without star
tailback Adrian Peterson when it faces number-19 Nebraska in
Saturday's Big 12 title game.
The 2004 Heisman Trophy runner-up has been out since breaking
his collarbone October 14th on a touchdown run against Iowa State.
Sooners coach Bob Stoops says Peterson is "close" and could be
cleared to play, "but each week that passes, the likelihood of it
reoccurring is less and less."
Peterson was initially expected to miss six weeks.
Oklahoma is 10-and-2 and has won all six games without Peterson.
