Heisman Watch

Yeah, it's early. It's the first weekend, actually.

But who are you watching for the Heisman?

Here's one guy I keep watching: Pat White, West Virginia quarterback.

He was a game-changer last year, and he's off to a good start already this season. I like him even better than Steve Slaton.

But who do you like? McFadden, Brohm, Booty........who?

Discuss.

 

Colt Brennan, but then the asshats who vote would actually have to consider somebody who won't be playing for a national title.

 

Or against any competition.

 

So he should be punished because BCS conference schools are scared to play Hawaii? If they'd man up and not play the Boise States and Hawaiis of the world, maybe I'd buy that argument.

 

georgia's played boise state. alabama's played at hawaii. usc has played hawaii

 

and you're right about pat white over slaton... white makes that offense

sat with a d coordinator last year and broke down film on it when i was looking into my heisman vote... white over slaton all day. that's what he said and showed me.

 

White impresses me every time I watch him.

Loads of talent, and a great leader.

Slaton is great, but White is the guy to watch. That guy knows how to push a team, take over a game, whatever. Knows what it takes to win, then goes out and does it on the field.

 

Early on, against inferior competition, all the contenders are gonna put up big numbers. Wait until conference play starts and a few of them have bad games, then the front-runners will be more clear.

And SC, if Hawaii were two play a couple BCS schools, Brennan likely would have no shot at the Heisman because his numbers would be way down from what he puts up against whoever the hell Hawaii plays regularly.

 

Ahhhh, I think if Brennan would play a coupla BCS schools, his numbers still would be pretty damn good.

 

The only reason Brennan is even in this conversation is because he puts up inflated numbers against inferior competition. He may turn out to be a great QB, but he couldn't shred the defenses of the top teams because Hawaii doesn't have near the talent to compete with the big boys.

As for throwing TDs, McFadden got off a to a good start with about 160 rushing, a score and a long TD pass.

 

Stop ruining my argument, dammit!!!!!

And Brennan finished fifth last year, so I guess somebody didn't find his stats so "inflated."
