    Adrian Peterson broke his collarbone and his out for the rest of the regular season and likely the OU Bowl game.

    Peterson said the only thing that would keep him from not entering the NFL Draft was an injury. It's still likely he enters and still likely he goes as high as he would of but his Heisman Hope is gone now.

    Peterson is all about the hype and other than his Freshman season has not lived up to it.

    Wolfe from Northern Illinois appears to be the real deal.

    18 carries 25 yards? That was wolfes line today right?

    Peterson has 3700 yards, and is playing very good opponents week in and out. He isnt hype

    Wolfe has had some good days days vs major opponents, but when i see he hit ohio state for almost 300 yards, and only scored once, i got to question how he got the yards. They still running vs a soft D down a lot? Probably, but when they get close and D tightens, he can do anything, probably again. Wolfe = HYPE

    I think Peterson is the real deal. He's got the size, speed, and he runs very hard. The only thing in question has to be his durability. Outside of that there isn't anything that you cannot like about Adrian Peterson. He's not as good as an athelete as Reggie Bush but he's a better RB prospect that him.

    BF1 was right on here. Wolfe isn't the real deal. I'm sorry, but he's too small and he plays against weak competition. Peterson put 100 yards on Texas who has one of the best run defenses in the country. This is a terrible statement. He's lived up to his hype. He's been great this season. Last season, he had 9 guys in the box against him on a regular basis and still had over 1100 yards. Wolfe's line for today was 17 carries for 27 yards. He gained 353 yards on Ball St. this season, but Ball St. had the worst run defense in the country going into that game. Wolfe isn't terrible. I don't think he's overhyped, but he's not as good as Adrian Peterson. That's a joke.
