From the Associated Press

Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson, in his first public comments since breaking his collarbone in the Sooners’ victory over Iowa State last Saturday, plans to play at least one more game for Oklahoma.

“I’m praying each night for a speedy recovery,” said Peterson, who is hoping to play in a bowl game with the Sooners. “I love to play the game. I would enjoy going out there and playing with the guys.”

Peterson said he could be back in four to six weeks, but Oklahoma trainer Scott Anderson offered a six-week timeframe for Peterson’s return. The injury is being treated without surgery, Anderson said.

Drew Edmiston’s two field goals were all Louisiana Lafayette, 4-2 overall, 1-0 in the Sun Belt Conference, needed to defeat Florida Atlantic, 6-0, at Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The Owls fell to 2-5 and 1-1.... The Southeastern Conference has sent a written warning to Auburn for violating a league rule by blaring music between plays during last Saturday’s game against Florida. Auburn could face a $5,000 fine if it violates the rule again.
