I have said it before and will say it again. You will see a RB get 1583 yards next year, but you won't see another HB for 10 to 20 years. He is a ball hawking dude who is constantly leading tackles stat for our D.

Alabama has survived by D play just like us. So do not give me this shite that they wouldn't be undefeated without him. First off, they haven't played no where near the competition we have. That fact alone requires that you have maybe snoopy as your I back and can get 80 to 120 yards with that O line.

This is why I say over and over there needs to be something on the D side like say Charles Woodson Trophy. With the same fan fair and at the same ceremony would be good.

Yep, I was thinking the same thing! Heisman winners have always been on the offense except for Charles Woodson...

Alabama is defeated. LSU already beat them.

Mathieu was, without question, had the most outstanding play on the field in college football this year. However, if I were a Heisman voter, which I'm pretty sure I'm not, I would not vote for him. Character would matter in my voting because I believe college football is at its heart a sport about character. The most outstanding player in a sport that is, IMO, for the purpose of building and showcasing character, should not have the large character issues Matthieu has. The trash talking on the field and the fake marijuana positive test off the field weigh too heavily, IMO, to consider him better than a guy like the Baylor QB who has had nearly as good a year on the field, but has been a positive leader off the field. He has given me no reason to question his character. He would get my #1.
