Nebraska senior wide receiver Todd Peterson has earned many different accolades to put on his resume during his college football career with the Cornhuskers. Now he can add another: sports columnist.

Peterson is one of several college football players who have written first-person perspective columns for The Sporting News Today, a new sports publication that’s distributed daily online. Peterson's column: "Life as a Cornhusker just the life for me" was published in Wednesday's edition.

In his column, Peterson explains what it's like to grow up as a Cornhusker football fan in the state of Nebraska. The Central Catholic High School graduate recalled his grade school days back in Grand Island when he and his classmates would have contests predicting the final score of NU football games each week.

"That's when Nebraska was on that incredible run and no one ever played them close," Peterson wrote. "So every week, it was picking scores like 62-7, 56-9, and if you were the closest, you got a piece of candy or got out of homework or something like that."
