Sucks for the guy. He's getting injured a lot, it seems.

Looked to me as if he has no one to blame but himself. Appeared he was showboating and dived into the end zone when it was completely unnecessary. Guess he must have inherited those good judgment genes.

You need to get your eyes checked. He was tripped up by a defender. This wasn't a showboat dive.

I may schedule my eye exam right after Stoops' [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

"Just diving into the end zone and when he landed, he landed wrong," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said.

Peterson was touched by the defender, but he probably could have maintained his balance. There is no question he could have simply fallen into the end zone for a TD. Perhaps being tripped affected his intended trajectory and resulted in the injury. There appears to be no question to me or Stoops that he dove into the end zone.
