College Football Fans Select Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson as The
Cingular / ABC Sports All-America Player Of The Week For The Second
Time This Season ATLANTA, Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- College football
fans nationwide have cast their votes, and for the second time this
season, Oklahoma freshman running back Adrian Peterson is the
Cingular/ABC Sports All-America Player of the Week. Peterson was
selected for the national honor after rushing for 249 yards and a
touchdown on 33 carries in the Sooners' 38-35 win at No. 20
Oklahoma State on Saturday. Peterson now has eight consecutive
100-yard games to start the season and 1,272 yards for the year. He
ranks third nationally with an average of 159 yards rushing per
game. Peterson, along with Purdue's Kyle Orton, are the only two
players to win the Cingular/ABC Sports All-America Player of the
Week award twice this season. Peterson first won the award on
October 10 after rushing for 225 yards on 32 carries in Oklahoma's
12-0 victory over Texas. Peterson was one of four candidates for
the Cingular/ABC Sports All- America Player of the Week, who are
nominated by a panel of ABC Sports and ESPN college football
analysts, led by John Saunders. The other finalists this week
included: Michigan wide receiver Braylon Edwards, who caught 11
passes for 189 yards and three touchdowns in the Wolverines' 45-37
triple-overtime win over Michigan State; Michigan running back and
last week's Cingular/ABC Sports All-America Player of the Week
Michael Hart, who rushed for 225 yards and a touchdown in the win;
and North Carolina running back Chad Scott, who tallied 175 yards
and two touchdowns on the ground in the Tar Heels' 31-28 upset over
No. 4 Miami (FL). The Cingular Wireless/ABC Sports All-America
