Floyd’s return to Irish lineup boosts Clausen’s Heisman hopes
When Notre Dame receiver Michael Floyd went down with a broken collarbone against Michigan State on September 19, it looked like his season would be over, and the Irish would have to make do without one of the nation’s top big-play receivers. However, it’s a different story just a little over six weeks later, as [...]
Heisman Trophy Watch (Week 9): Well, someone has to be #1, right?
1. Kellen Moore, QB, Boise State: Moore leads the nation in passing efficiency and touchdown passes, is 10th in completion percentage, threw for five touchdowns in his last game, and has five games of three touchdown passes or more. And hey, his team’s undefeated and in the top five. I’m no Boise State bandwagon rider, [...]
2009 Heisman Trophy Watch: Oct. 6-10
1. Tim Tebow, QB, Florida: I wasn’t exactly for Tebow taking the field against LSU, but even though he didn’t exactly have a monster game, he did more than enough and even showed a little of the Tebow that we’re used to seeing. Last Week (13-3 W at LSU): 11-16, 134 yards, TD, INT, 17 [...]
2009 Heisman Trophy Watch: Sept. 30-Oct. 3

Now the fun begins, as the next game on their slate is a roadie against 5-0 and now-ranked [...]
2009 Heisman Trophy Watch: Sept 24-26
1. Case Keenum, QB, Houston: Will he win it? Likely not. But as of right now, he’s #1 in my book. He followed up the win at Oklahoma State by leading the Cougars 95 yards for a last-minute score to beat another national name in Texas Tech. Last Game (29-28 W vs. Texas Tech): 38-58, [...]
Should Weis be on the hot seat at Notre Dame?
Are times getting desperate in South Bend? A little over a month ago, Notre Dame was 4-1 and in position to show their worth as a Top 25 team. Now, heading into Saturday’s game against Navy, the Irish are 5-4, with their lone win coming against Washington. Charlie Weis is now taking over play-calling duties, [...]
