Report says Peterson leaving OU

Stewart Mandel of CNNSI.com took a shot at picking which Big 12 underclassmen would check out early for the NFL draft in a column posted on Yahoo Sports.

Maybe he forgot someone, maybe there is no way he could know each player's mind but his one name from the conference was a big one -- Oklahoma running back standard Adrian Peterson.

Mandel said Peterson has no choice but to leave Norman for a paycheck.

"
Another lock to come out. Consecutive injury-plagued seasons have caused AD's stock to drop a bit, but that will change as soon as NFL teams see him in the flesh."

Remember him?

Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe was a name mentioned as a possible candidate to replace Gary Barnett last year. He stayed in Winston-Salem and led Wake Forest to a dream season, the best in the 105-year history of the school, earning him Associated Press Coach of the Year.

The Demon Deacons went 11-2, won the ACC title and a berth in the Orange Bowl.

Rutgers' coach Greg Schiano finished second and the Sooners' Bob Stoops was third.
