🏈 Darkhorse Heisman Candidates

[Duder]

Chris Huston of HeismanPundit.com lists Eddie Lacy and...Kiehl Frazier as sleeper picks this year. I'd be shocked if either got a serious look this year but we could very well have two candidates from the state in 2013

Doubt Lacy touches Ingram's '09 or Trent's '11 numbers, there will be much more of a back by committee with him, Hart, Fowler, and Yeldon imo.

Which OL do you think will be good enough to win either of those a Heisman is the question I have. I know where I'd put my money...

How's Auburn's line going to be this year?

AJ is my dark horse pick

How's Auburn's line going to be this year?

Actually, not terrible. Dismukes will be a great center after taking his knocks last year. Sullen and Mack played well late last year and have done a lot of work in the weight room. Our two wild cards will be Westerman and Robinson. They redshirted last year and certainly look great but of course, it's all practice film and such.

I'm not saying AU's line is better than Bama's. You guys have loads more experience. I'm saying our line won't be as bad as many think, certainly better than last year but not as good as our 2010 line.

I would say Braxton Miller at Ohio State, followed him his entire year, kid improved on his leadership skills and really has a underrated arm. I don't think he will win though due to the fact they have postseason ban. Where is Aaron Murray and Tyler Wilson on his list do you know?

Of the candidates listed, Barner and Thomas at Oregon seem the most likely frontrunners! Lacy is a possiblee candidate due to his ypc throughout his career in limited touches. If he was to get the touches of Ingram or Richardson, then he would put up their numbers and possibly more. As for Frazier, what the hell is he smoking? Kid throws for all of 34 yards and he is a Heisman Darkhorse?!!!

I normally don't post a lot about Auburn, but in this case I'm going to make an exception for conversations sake.

It's my thought regarding:

Dismukes: Unless he's matured, a lot, since his first year down there he's going to make some crucial mistakes. I suspect one of them to be something along the lines of a personal foul, or a "shot" that could be flagged for that nature. That is based on past actions of his when he wasn't on the playing field, but actions of a kid. Hope against hope I'm wrong.

Kheil? If I were you, I'd wish Al Borges was still on campus. I think he might be able to get something out of this one. But, Scott L? I don't know if KF has the "head on his shoulders" to fill the job description. Honestly, he would probably just be another name in the Ole Miss QB race...now, six guys strong (the last I heard at least.)
