The Oklahoma Sooners?open with one of the most-anticipated games of the 2016 college football season when they visit the Houston Cougars at NRG Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 3, at noon ET on ABC. The first full week of the season, however, kicks off two days earlier, on a Thursday night featuring 16 FBS games. That Thursday night is now just 28 days away.The number 28 is significant to Oklahoma fans. One of the greatest running backs to ever play for the Sooners, Adrian Peterson, wore No. 28 for three seasons in Norman. Peterson totaled 4,041 career rushing yards and scored 42 touchdowns for the Sooners. His freshman season, 2004, stood out as the best of his college career. He rushed for a Big 12 single-season record 1,925 yards, averaging 5.7 per carry and reaching the end zone 15 times. His 339 rushing attempts in 2004 broke the NCAA record. He finished second to Matt Leinart in Heisman voting that year.Peterson wasnt as durable in the next two seasons, appearing in 11 games in 2005 and just seven games in 2006. The Sooners were a combined 31-8 during Petersons career, capturing the 2004 and 2006 Big 12 titles. The Minnesota Vikings selected him with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2007 NFL draft.In case you missed the start of our countdown:29 days: Alabamas Bryant-Denny Stadium opened in 192930 days: Vinny Testaverde won the Heisman 30 years ago Ben Chiarot Jersey .

During the athletes parade, the 23-strong Ukrainian team was represented by a lone flagbearer in an apparent protest at the presence of Russian troops in Ukraines Crimean peninsula. Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan has accused his side of getting swept up in their record-breaking winning run and march toward a potentially historic NRL finals series.After having their club-record 15-game winning streak broken by a draw with Gold Coast, the Sharks four-month run without a loss came to an end against a red-hot Canberra last week.For many of the clubs long suffering fans, it was the loss they had to have, and Flanagan said he was hopeful it would help them refocus just four weeks out from the semi-finals.He said he felt his team were losing sight of what was important in the weeks leading up to their defeat against Canberra, which saw them surrender top spot to Melbourne.We were in a little bit of a holding pattern two or three weeks ago where we knew we were going to be in the semis and we had to continue to win games on the way home, Flanagan said on Friday.I think we were looking too far ahead to the semi-finals and its hard to keep their heads down and work really hard when they know theyre going to be in the semi-finals.The players coming back from Origin, right across the game in all clubs, struggle a little bit when they come out of Origin and they see daylight and they seee the semi-finals coming.ddddddddddddOf course theyre quality players and they kick into gear and play really well in the last few rounds heading into the semi-finals.Flanagan was confident of a rebound when they face struggling St George Illawarra in a local derby on Saturday night.He admitted to giving his side numerous sprays in the lead up to last weeks loss after noticing his team getting caught up in the hype.Veteran skipper Paul Gallen on Thursday told Triple M that Flanagan had unleashed an award-winning dressing-down at halftime during their win over Newcastle three weeks ago.When asked about the incident, Flanagan said he had unleashed so many verbal tirades lately he found it hard to remember them.I cant remember them too much, they all sort of blend into each other, he said.But Ive had a couple lately.Weve got a great opportunity this year and we dont want to let it slip so sometimes young blokes think that things are going okay and even (skipper Paul Gallen), at this stage of his career, thought things were going okay and needed to be pulled into line.
