re: 2010 Heisman Watch - Patrick Peterson

Jesus, looking at those numbers why the frick did he win it. I know 8 picks but shite... if we would have let zenon return it a few times he could have reached 250. And he wouldn't have deserved it either.

quote:

---

-231 yards receiving on 11 catches, with 2 TDs.
-15 yards rushing on 3 attempts, with 1 TD.
-8 INTs

Pretty sure it was only 7 int's. I remember Cedrick Donaldson having 7 that year for LSU, and was the same # as Woodson.


ETA: Just looked up some stats on Michigan's website for their record for season stats.

-Sorry, it was 8 int's
-Woodson was #2 in most returned punts(44), but not in top 10 in average(9yds/return). This only means he returned a lot of punts, but wasn't that great at it. Didn't return many kick-offs(Not in top 20)
-Didn't make top 10 in tackles, not in top 25 for tackles for loss, not in top 20 for sacks.
-Was #2 in pass breakups the year before his heisman, but not top 18 in his heisman year.

Overall I say he didn't have great stats his heisman year other than int's, he was probably just a lock down corner, where other teams didn't throw his way. Much like PP is/will be.

Oh, and I'm sure it helped that his punt return was the Ohio State game,(Game before the heisman?) fresh on the voters mind.
