How good does a traditional running back have to be to win Heisman?

 

More than before. The usual hype machines are going to make up for Vince Young not winning the Heisman last year.

Holy shit, the Illini defense hasn't given up a point to Iowa so far, and just picked off Drew Tate. This can't last.

 

Edit: So they get intercepted the very next play. :(

 

Edit numbah 2: Nevermind, reviewed and overturned wooo

Add to the Illinois/Iowa "surprising scores" file: Cincinnati 10, Virginia Tech 5, just before the half. VT's having a really hard time getting any sort of running game going against what should be a pretty pitiful Cinci team. This is in Blacksburg, too.

 

Meanwhile, Clemson is throttling UNC. Despite the choke against Boston College, Clemson is starting to live up to their preseason hype. I still think Miami will rebound, but at this point Clemson may be the most complete team in a very down ACC.

I got to see them last week, and UC isn't that bad. They were very competitive against Ohio State. The score didn't come close to reflecting how close the Bearcats were for most of the game.

 

I didn't realize UNC was as bad as they are. Clemson is good, but 35-0 at halftime is getting into Temple territory.

Unranked Wiconsin and #6 Michigan are tied at 10 in the 3rd quarter.

 

Yeah, UW can clean out their first three opponents with little problem, then hang with the #6 team...but Iowa, now finally showing some dominance against another bottomfeeding team is at 14.

 

Hawkeyes, babay!

 

Also, Badgers just picked off Henne (or as the invalid announcer keeps calling him, 'Henry') in the endzone.

Mario Manningham is looking like a contender for the Heisman. I'm still awaiting the dreaded U of M letdown game when they tank against a team they should beat somewhat easily.

Bonus coverage of UGA and Colorado on ESPN 2 now. 13-7 Colorado, and they just stoned Georgia at the CU 12-yard line and took over on downs with 5 minutes to go. I think I would have kicked the field goal there rather than stretch on 4th and 3.

I made a small bet on UB. +42 looked pretty good, but it's all luck when you bet on games like that. Looks like they should easily cover. :)
