re: Tre'davious White darkhorse Heisman contender?

He has a fumble recovery too!

That said, first thing he would need is for LSU to be in the playoffs come the second weekend in Dec. Except for QBs, the Heisman has become an award given to the best player on the best team. You could argue that McCaffery had better overall numbers than Henry last season. However, Henry got the nod because he played for one of the perceived "best teams". For as great as Matheiu was in 2011, he doesn't get an invite if LSU isn't in the NC game. And remember, Mathieu's stat line was unbelievable:

7.5 TFL
6 Forced fumbles
5 recovered fumbles
2 INTs
4 TDs (2 PR and 2 fumble recoveries)

White is off to a great start, but I think he's going to need at least 7 Ints; 3-5 forced fumbles/fumble recoveries and likely 5 total TDs to get consideration.

Charles Woodson had 8 Ints and only 1 defensive TD in 1997, but, he also played offense AND his team played for the National Title
