Heisman watch

[irishandy]

If we go into Tallahassee undefeated Golson will get his chance.

Prescott is riding a wave of momentum (and we know how voters love QBs), but that can change in a heartbeat over the next few weeks when he crawls into the belly of the beast with their schedule.

As of late we have watched a few great players do some great things. We have witnessed the same great players do some great things and their team lost. Video: Amari Cooper -- the quiet man - ESPN

Great receiver and seems to be on track. But I don't see the same influence that the only receiver in history to win the Heisman gave Michigan

Utah State Aggies vs. BYU Cougars - Recap - October 03, 2014 - ESPN

He is obviously out of the question, but was he really considered?

This has got to be the story of the year for the Heisman committee. They have got to be asking themselves some serious questions.

Heres a guy who seems good enough,
Todd Gurley

2014 Season
ATT YDS TD
69 610 6
but really? does he propel his team to win or is he behind a great line? hmmm...

Everett Golson, He was 187-of-318 passing the football for 2,405 yards with 12 touchdowns, 6 interceptions, and a pass efficiency rating 131.8. Golson also rushed for 299 yards and 6 touchdowns on 94 carries. His longest pass play of the season went for 50 yards to wideout John Goodman.

this was 2 years ago. 'wiki


There was no goal line stand this time, but there were late-game heroics of a different variety. Trailing by four and facing 4th-and-11, Everett Golson aired out a 22-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Ben Koyack to take a 17-14 advantage.

Can we add him to the fold? This guy just wins like his predecessor only difference he does It convincingly, finally and absolutely? Look at the competition and ask yourself If he doesn't propel his team to wins. Time to start the chant and be proud of this young man!!

Tell me I'm wrong.

I think it's Todd Gurley's to loose

Todd Gurley of Georgia Bulldogs suspended indefinitely - ESPN

So, Gurley is suspended indefinitely due to a possible NCAA violation. Based on past history, that should all but cement his position as leader for the Heisman, no?

Its all reaady been awarded to him behind closed doors at the Downtown Athletic Club. The Downton Athletic Club is also known as Jail.

Okay, on a rare serious note, does Shane Carden get any love, or not due to his opponents?

Marcus Mariota final stats:
254-372 3783 yards
25-38 313 against Arizona. He also missed a game

Everett Golson final stats: (one less game)
250-416 3355 yards

Soooo this explosive Oregon offense with a more developed heisman winning Quarterback threw the ball for the season 82 less times. That's roughly two games worth. Good play calling BK.

They also have a way better run game and led in the vast majority of their games. Not sure that is fair.

 

[TheChosen1]

Sort of my point

 

[mtnd15]

I see. Chicken and egg type of argument here. Does running the ball consistently generate explosive offense, or does their intrinsically explosive offense allow them to run consistently. I would be inclined to argue for the latter.

...But I do hope we run more, and more effectively next season no question LOL

Chip Kelly's spread has ALWAYS been a run-first offense, at Oregon.

Come on a WAY better run game or a more utilized run game? We don't run enough with our solid RBs IMO.

If Oregon's run offense is a Corvette; ND's run offense is a Pinto, by comparison.

Pretty incredible Heisman-winning season for Mariota. He'd be my #1 choice. I think my ballot in the end would be

1. Mariota
2. Gordon
3. Coleman
4. Barrett
5. Cooper

I think NDs would be a rusty Mustang GT500, has all the potential but doesn't get the attention it needs!
