Fox Sports Top 100 Heisman Candidates

This one had me laughing! Don't let xrayrandy see this list! He'll try to make everyone believe Colt should be #1.:wink2:

53. QB Colt McCoy, Texas – McCoy has to be mentioned because he’s the likely starting quarterback of the defending national champs. And he has to be a distant longshot because he’s never thrown a pass in college and has true freshman Jevan Snead in his rear view mirror.

That prediction should be set in aspic.

Everyone knows about the deep route to baseball Jeff, and it was cruelly exposed in the Fiesta Bowl. Without Jeff it is the returning injury from 2005 of Rheema McKnight that Quinn must throw to. Don't hold your breath. There is likely a reason why they didn't hook up often enough before.

As for Peterson - what has Oklahoma really done to help matters coming into 2006? Great Freshman year, but since then it is all question marks, and even the Fox Sports prognosticator admits as much.

Which leaves whom I wonder?

Jesus Christ, dude! You don't know who Gary Russell is?!?! Just kidding.

But Gary Russell was the RB, who sort of split carries with Lawrence Maroney at Minnesota, and was supposed to fill the void, and carry the team, like Maroney did, last year (except I believe he had higher expectations, that he failed to meet). He was kicked off of the team for some sort of academic ineligibility, thus making this a bad pick for him to be so highly considered for the Heisman.

of note:

3. Troy Smith
6. Ted Ginn, Jr.
49. Antonio Pittman
65. Chris Wells

OK, Wells is a real reach. True Freshman who will probably start behind Pittman all season long... but its very difficult to get a Heisman trophy (unless you play for Notre Dame) when your team has two solid contenders. I fear Smith and Ginn will work against each other by splitting the Big 10/Midwest vote.

Always a good thing to see your team have 3 legit candidates in the top 50. Let alone 2 in the top 6. Finally we get to see some real offense instead of the nail-biting Tresselball.

Nail-biting Tresselball? Jim Tressel runs an offense that is pure in a sense, its smash mouth to core, followed up by some stretch plays, I don't think that it's best described by nail-biting when in fact it has produced so many results. 50-13 2002 National Championship, 3 Fiesta Bowls and 3 wins, 4-1 against scUM, tOSU is lucky to have an offensive mind like his, he has brought back the respect to the tOSU offense that "pooper scooper Cooper" took away. I don't think that a true Buckeye would call it that at all. We've had real offense for a long time now.
