    CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson running back Duane Coleman broke his foot during practice Tuesday and won't be able to play for six to eight weeks.

    Last season, Coleman led the Tigers with 615 yards rushing. He also caught 34 passes for 309 yards.

    "With his loss we will have to evaluate what we are going to do offensively, especially on third down," coach Tommy Bowden said. "He can do things that our other backs can't."

    The injury came when Coleman was tackled during a one-on-one drill on the first day of full-contact practice, Bowden said.

      No doubt, they were very close to the title last year, but with the additions, they could be fighting even harder.

        Peterson, who rushed for 1,925 yards to set an NCAA freshman record last season, had outpatient reconstructive surgery on his left shoulder Monday and started rehabilitation on Tuesday, Oklahoma spokesman Kenny Mossman said.

        Peterson dislocated the shoulder during the Sooners' fall practice last season and reaggravated the injury in a game against Texas A&M on Nov. 6.

        Cornerback Marcus Walker, another freshman, had similar reconstructive surgery on his right shoulder and is also expected to return in time for fall practice, Mossman said.

        Walker, who made his fourth start during the Orange Bowl, hurt his shoulder during in the Big 12 title game on Dec. 4.

        Both players will miss spring practice, which begins in March, Mossman said. Both had previous shoulder problems in high school, he said.

        IRVING, Texas -- Both of Tennessee's freshman quarterbacks may be out for the Cotton Bowl.

        Junior Rick Clausen will start as planned in Saturday's game against Texas A&M (7-4).

        The Vols (9-3) had hoped freshman Brent Schaeffer would be able to play some after returning for the first time since breaking his collarbone Oct. 30 at South Carolina.

        But Schaeffer has been unable to practice in Texas because of with flu-like symptoms.

        Coach Phillip Fulmer said on Monday that Schaeffer was "day-to-day," and hoped he would practice Tuesday.

        "Outside (Tuesday) it's going to be very difficult for him to be able to play. I'm hopeful to get him back. If we get him back (Tuesday) or maybe even Wednesday and Thursday if (he) can practice, he might be able to help us," Fulmer said. "But it's almost beyond the point now where he can't get enough work to get it done. It's unfortunate."

        Schaeffer was able to practice in Knoxville, Tenn., before the players went home for Christmas. Tennessee began practice here on Sunday.

        The Vols' other freshman QB -- Erik Ainge -- hasn't played since separating his shoulder against Notre Dame on Nov. 6. He will not play in the Cotton Bowl, Fulmer said.

        Clausen has started the last three games in place of the freshmen.

        MRI shows ACL tear in running back Lumpkin's left knee

        SportsLine.com wire reports

        ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia running back Kregg Lumpkin, who was expected to start, will be lost for the season after tearing a ligament in his left knee during a non-contact drill.

        "I'm disappointed with what has happened to Kregg," coach Mark Richt said Tuesday. "He had worked extremely hard getting ready for this season. Now he'll have to postpone it until next year. But the good news is that he can get a redshirt year and still have three years to play."

        Lumpkin tore his anterior cruciate ligament Monday, the team's first day of practice. He had an MRI on Monday night. The normal recovery period for a torn ACL is about nine months.

        Lumpkin was second on the team with 523 yards rushing as a freshman last year, despite missing the first two games with a hamstring injury. After a strong spring, he was listed as the starter entering preseason practice.

        Lumpkin rushed for 90 yards and the game-winning touchdown in Georgia's Capital One Bowl victory over Purdue.

        Michael Cooper, who led the team with 673 yards rushing last season, likely will move up to the top spot on the depth chart. Running back Tony Milton, who is recovering from offseason leg surgery, should also compete for playing time with freshmen Danny Ware and Thomas Brown and senior Albert Hollis.

        Weatherford pulls ahead in battle to be Florida State's QB

        TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State quarterback Drew Weatherford took a big step toward becoming the starter with an impressive performance in the team's scrimmage while a sore shoulder forced Xavier Lee to cut his work short after just three passes.

        The favorite entering fall practice, Lee had completed just four passes in the team's two previous scrimmages.

        "I'm just going to keep saying they're (both) No. 1, but you can see what's happening," Florida State coach Bobby Bowden said Tuesday. "You can see as good as I can what's happening. But to me they're both still No. 1."

        Weatherford completed 21-of-34 passes for 401 yards Tuesday and led the offense to a touchdown.

        "(Today) definitely gave me a lot more confidence and I am sure it does the same for our offensive line, receivers and backs," Weatherford said. "(It's good) to know that we don't have to rely on the run and that we can throw the ball and make plays that way as well."

        Pat Watkins did pick off Weatherford twice, returning the first for a 79-yard touchdown.

        "A guy needs some success and (Weatherford) had some today," Bowden said. "Both of them are getting better and better because they are so doggone young."

        Weatherford took most of the repetitions after Lee was sidelined with a sore shoulder eight snaps into the scrimmage. Lee finished 1-of-3 for eight yards.

        Lee, who has been bothered by his shoulder for the past few days, underwent an MRI earlier in the week that revealed no significant damage. It is uncertain whether Lee will participate in the final scrimmage Friday evening.

        PULLMAN, Wash. -- Washington State quarterback Josh Swogger broke a bone in his right foot, ending his sophomore season.

        The injury will require surgery, Washington State athletic department spokesman Rod Commons said Monday.

        Swogger's backup is freshman Alex Brink, who played in two games this season, completing 13-of-25 pass attempts for 278 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

        Freshman Gary Rogers, who hoped to redshirt this season, will be Brink's backup.

        Swogger already was playing with a partially torn ligament in his right knee and a sore ankle.

        He completed 91 of 193 pass attempts for 1,283 yards, with 13 touchdown passes and seven interceptions. He ranks seventh in the Pac-10 in passing, averaging 208.7 yards per game.
