Who's the man?

There are a lot of unfamiliar names being looked at for the Heisman trophy. Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow were the names a year ago and figured to be this year again. But the guys in the running are runningbacks Toby Gerhart from Stanford and Mark Ingram from Alabama. Quarterback Case Keenan from Houston had a monster year throwing the ball. Gerhart seems to me like he will be the winner. He rushed for 1736 yards on the ground and scored 26 touchdowns. He averaged 144.7 yards per game and 5.6 per carry. Gerhart ran against Pac-10 competition. Ingram may be the best runner in college football. His stats aren't what Gerhart's are. Keenan threw for 4922 yards and 38 touchdowns. He only threw 6 interceptions. Keenan didn't face the competition that the other two did. That's why I think Toby Gerhart will win it. The Pac-10 is a good conference. Maybe not as good defensively as the SEC. But very impressive.

I believe its Colt Mccoy don't want it to be because I think Gerhart or Ingram deserve it more. As for the Houston product that's all a system remember Kliff Kingsbury or colt Brennen or a guy from Houston Andre Ware huge #'s. Hey Mike who do you think will be the best pro out of the canidates? sorry about my spelling. Also who do you think is a can't miss prospect (i think its Suh) coming out this year? Also who is a sleeper that will be a stud? like after rd 1

Suh and Eric Berry will be can't misses. I love Rolondo Mcclain the inside linebacker from Alabama. I really like Golden Tate from Notre Dame. He is an electric play maker at wide reciever. Another wide reciver i love is Jordan Shipley from Texas. As far as the Heisman candidates in the pros. Keenean will be nothing. He's another Graham Harrell. But huge numbers are what the Heisman is all about, That and winning. Gerhart may not even play. He may play pro baseball. Colt McCoy doesn't have eye popping numbers. If he wins I think last saturdays win over Nebraska will help. I will spend much time on the draft in early february right up until the draft. My favorite time of the year!

I enjoy the draft as well, too bad they changed the time why Thursday? I tell you what I'll be late to the office Friday the 1st round wont be over till like 2am. I can't wait till Feb to see all your break downs.Rolondo Mcclain is a gamer such a beast what a game he played against Fla. Notre Dame is gonna be in trouble next year I like Golden as well they have another wr there as well that got hurt. What do you think of Dez Bryant? Terrel Owens or Mike Williams

They moved the draft to thursday for prime time tv. it's all about money and i think it sucks! It's just the first 10 picks though. Dez Bryant, Well it always bothers me when a player can't play for a period of time. Thats why i can't wait till the senior bowl to see what Legarrett Blount can do. He may be a good pro. But Bryant was suspended for talking to Dion Sanders, So it's not like he's a head case. Eric Decker is another wide reciever that i like out of minnesota. But his season ended early after an injury about 3-4 weeks ago.
