NIU RB Garrett Wolfe (official thread)

Unfortunately for Northern Illinois and their fans, the web site will be a little bit like a mule with a hunting license: you don't know how he got it, and darned if he knows what to do with it. No, I'm not going to sell you a monorail, but I think there's a better chance that Mr. Spock will beam down to the earth and save us all from a falling globe filled with wigs than Wolfe has in winning the Heisman.

It's not something I agree with, but the Heisman winner needs to play for a big-time team in a national championship race. I don't give a pair of pickles to see anyone list all the guys in the MAC or the Sunbelt Conference who have won the Heisman, so put your AC/DC bumper stickers back in your wallet. But check this out: Notre Dame lost one flippin' game, and already people jumped off the Brady Quinn bandwagon-mobile, and onto Troy Smith's. And Notre Dame is a big-time team (for some weird reason). I guess that if Ohio State wins out, Smith has an excellent chance to win the Heisman, even if someone like Wolfe averages 500 yards a game and 16 touchdowns.

Again, it's not something I agree with. But to win the Heisman,
1. You can't be a freshman.
2. You have to play offense. Even if you're a kick-ass shut-down corner, you better return punts or play wide receiver. And not just any offense. You need to play a "skill" position. (Does that mean that any ol' unskilled big ugly can play offensive line?)
3. You have to play in big, national spotlight games fairly regularly. This means you need to be a big-time team in a big-time conference.
4. You SHOULD be in a national championship run. If you aren't in a NC run, it would help if your team lost only the games that you didn't play in.

I have as good a chance to win the Heisman as Wolfe does, which is unfortunate, because he's a hell of a player. I wouldn't mind seeing him in the NFL soon.

He's not going to win the Heisman and I understand that. I just want him to get to NY.
