The Sooner Nation was dealt a major blow Saturday in a 34-9 win over Iowa State. As superstar running back, Adrian Peterson suffered a season ending collarbone injury. Peterson on a very special day, with his father in attendance for his first game since being incarcerated since Adrian's 12th birthday, rushed for 183 yards, two touchdowns.

The father that called his son All-Day, the son rose to the occasion on that day making the father proud, scoring Oklahoma's first and final touchdowns in dominating fashion. In his probable last game in a Sooner uniform, the Junior finished in spectacular fashion just short of breaking coveted Oklahoma rushing records.

For Sooner fans, the matter is Adrian Peterson, the heart and soul of Sooner nation. For some Oklahoma fans, "Adrian is dead," said one Sooner fan. Only does Sooner fans hope to see him in Crimson and Cream, again.

Sure Adrian, may have a policy out just for this situation. But, Sooner nation hinges on his decision, to lead Oklahoma to a title, and also solidify himself among NCAA's elite.
