LSU's "Patrick Peterson best football player in the United States of America right now"

Matt Zemek of CollegeFootballNews.com, had this to say about LSU’s Patrick Peterson following the Tigers’ 20-14 victory over No. 21 West Virginia: "And in other news from this game, let’s put the matter plainly: Patrick Peterson is the best football player in the United States of America right now, with Denard Robinson being a close second. Seriously: Is anyone doing more for his team or making more impact plays each game than Peterson is? Let’s not be biased against defensive players or special-teams studs. If you’re the best player in the country, you’re the best player in the country. Period. That’s what Peterson is right now."

Peterson was also mentioned on CNNSI.com today in the website’s "Heisman Watch."
