LF and the Heisman

First off, I love the guy. If you need proof of that, look no further than what I wrote about him here

I know he's too much of a team player to agree with this, and I respect him for that as well.

LF lost the Heisman yesterday. More accurately, Leonard didn't lose it, but this offense and coaching staff lost it for him.

Lost in the general suckiness of yesterday's offensive performance was the fact that LF could've had his first "Heisman Moment" - that 20 dash up the middle to put the team in FG range and win the game. But nope. Nada. Zilch. Instead of a defining early-season moment, it will instead be an obscure 20 yard rush buried in the statistics.

Let's be real..if what we saw out of this offense yesterday is what we can expect for the rest of the season, LSU is lucky to win 9 or 10 games. Barring a miraculous reversal of performance, they will definitely not be winning the West or be in the playoff discussion.

If there's anything we've learned about the Heisman, it's that it's awarded to a player from a 9-3 (or worse) team about as commonly as Haley's Comet comes around.

Since LSU won't be playing for a contender, he will need to put up video game stats in order to have a shot. With this pathetic of a passing game, that's going to be tough with 9 and 10 guys in the box. I think he'll have a great season, but it will be a tall order to replicate last year's near-2000 yard effort.

I wish the best for the guy, and hope that he can leave LSU having penned his name atop a multitude of LSU and SEC records. He deserves it.
