[Mr. Pink]

He did get something like 1100 yards on returns with only 1 return for a TD.

They handed off to a kid named Remound something in short yardage situations as well as I understand it ..

Was hoping someone would hit that one. Can you be most outstanding if they don't use you for short yardage? :headscratch:

If there's one thing I've learned about this award the criteria for what it takes to win changes; seemingly, with each day.

Hell, Peyton lost the award due to a punt return if you think about it.

Yeah, just seems to me that you have a guy you obviously trust to do anything, you run 9 man offensive line sets, and you swap out arguably your most talented player with another player.

Changing the subject a bit, remember Barry Sanders kid plays for Stanford, that must be pretty cool to break his record and have that kinda access to a Legend.

Something I was just reminded of ...

The guy that takes home the Heisman used to be committed to Georgia: Pruitt flipped him. Same case with Yeldon.

One more thing. Out of those eight rushing TD's CM had, four came against one team: UCLA.

Yeah, character is supposed to be in there somewhere and we all know how easily that's been overlooked.

Love this McCaffery video from back in the day.

Hilarious. I love seeing the little guys with the knee pads bigger than their legs. Ha ha.

Oddshark has a table that shows the Heisman Trophy odds since 8/1 @ Heisman Trophy Betting Odds Tracker

To get in with Henry at +2500 would have been awesome!

And it helps that he was in top 3 of ko return attempts and top 10 of attempts per game on a team that was 38 in nation in scoring D.

For as much crap as the press has given DH for carries, McCaffery received 27.69 offensive touches a game to DH's 26.8, which doesnt account for his STs touches... of which DH wasnt asked to do. DH plays better run defenses with a less capable QB. Defenses stack 8-9 in the box focused on him and DH was still more effective in YPC than McCaffrey and drastically more efficient in scoring production.

All finalists are worthy, but DH was the most productive back in the country and team mvp for Bama. Without him, no SEC championship let alone a playoff berth. Not sure the same is true at Stanford given the other RBs, WRs, strength of OL and solid QB play

Bummed I won't get to watch the ceremony but I will be tracking every minute.

It's OK to admit this brings out the inner gump.

He deserves the Heisman for that statement alone.

Yes, he does!

Anyone else have this thought?
