If Wolfe doesnt get to visit New York at the years end he should cry bloody murder!

He's on pace to run for 2,834 yards in 12 games.

Imagine if we go to the MAC CHampionship and a bowl? He would be on pace to run for 3,306 yards!

It's insane. I noticed how they cut in the OSU/Iowa game and showed Wolfe highlights. Herby said he's the best RB in the nation.

Five Things We Learned This Weekend


1) That the true Heisman front-runner right now is Garrett Wolfe. After piling up an astounding 353 yards against Ball State on Saturday, the Northern Illinois tailback has run for 1,181 yards and 11 touchdowns in five games. He?s averaging 236.2 yards per game; Barry Sanders? single-season record is 238.9. And you can?t say he hasn?t played anyone, either -- Wolfe did amass 285 rushing/receiving yards against the No. 1 team in the country.


Also I think you might find #2 interesting.

2) That Ohio State's best receiver is Anthony Gonzalez. That may sound ridiculous considering Ted Ginn Jr. is a likely first-round draft choice, but in both of the Buckeyes? biggest games, at Texas and Iowa, Gonzalez has made the back-breaking catches. He?s fast enough to catch the deep ball but also uses his size and shiftiness to get open across the middle. Plus he sleeps in that tent, which is pretty damn cool.

i don't care WHO you play for, or WHO you play against, i NEVER thought i would see anyone break Barry Sanders' rushing record... but this kid is on pace not only to break it, but to SHATTER it... even if you factor in Barry's bowl game, Garrett Wolfe is still on pace to beat Barry's total BY NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED YARDS!!!

if he doesn't get to NY, the Heisman will lose ALL credibility with me...

[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Seven things we learned on Sunday. ... [/FONT]

Garrett Wolfe already has 1,181 yards rushing through five games. (US PRESSWIRE) [FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Garrett Wolfe is really good: The 5-foot-7, 177-pound back from Northern Illinois was the nation's leading returning rusher. He backed that up by leading the country in rushing for most of this season. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] But after Saturday night's 353-yard performance against Ball State, it's time to re-adjust our thinking. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Quality of competition? He has run over Michigan and Ohio State in his career. Iowa plays host to Northern Illinois on Oct. 28. Coach Joe Novak has never ducked anyone. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Stat padding? Wolfe was removed after one series of the second half against I-AA Indiana State. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Heisman worthy? Well, yes. He's on pace to smash Barry Sanders' season yards record of 2,638. If the Huskies play in the MAC Championship Game and a bowl, he could reach 3,000 yards. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] For now, Wolfe has broken Marcus Allen's 25-year-old record for most yards in the first five games of the season (now 1,181, 236.2 per game). Allen won the Heisman that year. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] There could have been more for Wolfe: Runs of 70 and 51 yards were called back because of holding. There definitely will be more in the future: In the next four weeks, Wolfe faces Miami (Ohio) (104th in rushing defense), Western Michigan (sixth), Temple (117th) and Iowa (47th). [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] "He is the most instinctive football player I've ever seen," Novak said. "He does something different every week, things you haven't seen before." [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] There is no question Wolfe can get an invite to New York for the Heisman ceremony if he keeps it up. More significant than defenses, he will have to overcome the Eastern bloc of voters that will no doubt look down their noses at a MAC guy. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Anybody remember Holy Cross' Gordie Lockbaum? He finished third in 1987. [/FONT]
