Oklahoma football must secure a victory in this month’s Armed Forces Bowl to prevent a second losing season in three years. For the second consecutive year, the Oklahoma Sooners have not produced a 1,000-yard rusher, which has been a hallmark of the program since the 2000s. The most notable rusher in Oklahoma history is the legendary Adrian Peterson, who, from 2004 to 2006, accumulated 4,041 yards and 41 touchdowns, coming close to winning the Heisman Trophy as a true freshman. While Peterson is celebrated as an all-time college standout and successful NFL player, his off-field issues continue to cast a shadow over his legacy at OU.
On Friday, reports indicated that Peterson has outstanding warrants for his arrest due to his failure to appear in court regarding two separate child support cases. Earlier this year, he faced legal troubles for not paying a portion of an $ 8.3 million settlement owed to a loan company. Fans have openly voiced their opinions about the former Oklahoma football star’s troubled trajectory as he now encounters yet another legal challenge.
