JC getting heisman love

[mick2]

ESPN moved jimmy clausen up to 5 on their heisman watch list.

finally some love.

Name Position School

Tim Tebow QB Florida

Colt McCoy QB Texas

Case Keenum QB Houston

Tony Pike QB Cincinnati

Jimmy Clausen QB Notre Dame

5. Jimmy Clausen, Notre Dame: Back-to-back fourth-quarter comebacks on an injured foot has a certain sense of drama, particularly when it's being directed by a Notre Dame quarterback. Clausen's 2-yard, fourth-down TD pass to Kyle Rudolph with 25 seconds left showed his moxie in the victory over Purdue. His statistics were mediocre (171 passing yards, one TD pass, minus-13 yards rushing) but his comeback late in the game on one healthy foot was supreme.

I expect Keenum and Pike to fade as the year goes on. If Colt keeps up his not so impressive play he will move down. If Jimmy can pull off a win against USC that would be a signature win, especially if done in dramatic fashion could propel him up to the top.

Would be nice if Clausen won the Heisman, but it would be nicer if he stays his sr. year.

no way keenum or pike stay there the whole season...unfortunately the media loves bradford so clausen will probably finish 4th

Did you see the 'Heisman Predictor' on College Football Live? They currently have Tate Forcier 3rd. Crazy.

Win the next two and Jimmy jumps in the top 3. Win out? We will at least get to hold our breath when they say..."And the winner of the 2009 Heisman Trophy is.......slurp, Tim, slurp, slurp, Tebow."

Keep winning, Jimmy. You've got the O'Brien in your sights.

Sam Bradford? There is no way bradford will even be in the discussion. He had missed to much time.

5th is still a little low imo, but if he keeps doing wat he's been doing and beats usc he'll be in the discussion at the end of the year, but in the end i think an invite is the best he will do though. In all likelyhood tebow will win it based not on this year but it'll be the lifetime achievment award basically
