Teams game-plan against Peterson, and don't throw it his way, which is mainly the reason for his 12 tackles on the season. He has two interceptions on the year.
He is a physically dominating corner back at 6'1", 222 pounds, and simply dominates receivers at the line of scrimmage. He is always fearless in making open-field tackles.
Two weeks ago in the thrilling victory over Tennessee, Peterson made four tackles and shut down receivers. Last week against Florida, John Brantley didn't dare to look his way, and Peterson managed one tackle.
What may hurt his Heisman hopes is the fact that opposing offenses will opt to shy away from targeting him, leaving him with stats more deflated than what voters want to see.
