CFB NEWS AND NOTES

They are breathing just a little easier in Texas which has confirmed that star OG Justin Blalock, a top prospect for the 2007 draft, will start this week's season finale against Texas A&M. The 330-pound Blalock who is rated as a possible late first round prospect for this coming April's draft, was forced out of the Longhorns' loss to Kansas State two weeks with a sprained knee that has not turned out to be as serious as first feared. If Blalock does in fact start against the Aggies it will be his 50th straight, a new school record.....


There had been some optimism at Oklahoma that star junior RB Adrian Peterson might be able to play when the Sooners face Oklahoma State on Saturday to complete their regular schedule, however, it now appears that Peterson will not play this weekend. Peterson, who is generally considered to be one of the top 2-3 prospects for the 2007 draft, suffered a broken collarbone in mid-October and at the time team doctors said he would miss approximately six weeks.
