Game balls

The All-Out Crusher keeps getting better. Saturday's totals in relief of Adrian Peterson: 32 carries, 173 yards, one touchdown. His 12-yard run on second-and-13 late in the fourth quarter pushed OU into position to seal victory with a first down.

The senior defensive end had five tackles, including a sack. The sack snuffed out A&M trickery � it was going to be a wide receiver pass. It seemed as though Birdine was in the Aggies' backfield all day.

The redshirt freshman defensive tackle had five tackles, including one for loss. He was instrumental in slowing Jorvorskie Lane, A&M's huge tailback. On one play, Granger body-slammed Lane for a loss.
