2009 Heisman Watch: The Case For Stanford’s Toby Gerhart
Toby Gerhart isn’t your typical Heisman candidate. Then again, as a white running back playing in the Pac-10 and dominating even the best of defenses, he’s not your “typical” anything. We could go on for days about the other four candidates going up against Gerhart for Saturday’s college honor, but why waste precious time? Why [...]

2009 Heisman Trophy Watch (Week 12): Ingram closing in on history
1. Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama (1): Not only did Ingram log his sixth 100-yard game of the season, but after not scoring in Alabama’s last two games, Ingram got reacquainted with the end zone, not once, but twice, including a 70-yard scamper in the fourth that put the finishing touches on the Tide’s romp in [...]

On the Mark: Ingram’s Heisman half fuels Bama’s comeback vs. LSU
In the three games prior to yesterday’s showdown against LSU, Alabama’s offense had consisted of Mark Ingram, Mark Ingram, Mark Ingram, and very little else. While Greg McElroy struggled in the face of dealing with strong defenses from South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Tennessee, Ingram flourished, establishing himself as perhaps the man to beat for [...]
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, [...]
Alabama vs. Virginia Tech Preview and Prediction
Alabama is favored by a touchdown for tonight’s primetime showdown at the Georgia Dome, but I’m high on the Hokies to take down the Tide. Yes, I know what happened last season when Alabama stomped on a highly-hyped Clemson team in Atlanta to kickstart their terrific season, but this Virginia Tech team is underhyped, if [...]
Score one for the little guy? Utah proves they’re worthy of the big time
Four years ago, Utah was a team led by a hotshot young coach, with a cute gimmicky offense and a future #1 pick in the shotgun. The Utes rolled through their schedule and slid up the polls through the season, and when all was said and done, they became the first ‘BCS buster.’ The reward [...]
