Lol have you?
OU's problems so far this year are on offfense, not on defense.

Really, no one else is having a season good enough to win the Heisman. Te'o may end up going to NY, but Smith wins it.


Agreed. Braxton Miller goes to NY this year and wins it next year.

The Field.

It all depends if WVU keeps winning.

But I believe WVU will lose and people will forget and someone will jump up in weeks 10-12 like every year.

It's a "last impression" what have you done for me lately award.

Palmer won the award on the last game of the year by whipping ND. Barkley has that opportunity in huge high profile games at the very end if USC stays winning and he gets his head out of his arse.

Manti for ND is gaining mo too.

This is what your said
Like I said the defense is good, the problems are on offense and if you "watch football" like you claim you would have noticed that in the Kansas St. game.

Anyway back on topic, Geno seems to be the guy. Braxton Miller is playing very well also. Don't count out Klein though.

Geno will probably get penalized for playing in a variation of the Air Raid.


But not at a school like WVU if they keep winning. It isn't like he plays at Houston, or TTU with multiple losses. If they win the BigXII I think it is his to win.

Oklahoma and Texas have the most talent in the big12. Oklahoma will have the horses to force turnovers and disrupt the quick passing game.

Their defense is not great, you're right. They are capable. Do you think the talent in Norman just dried up? No.

Baylor lost nearly 3 games by now last season and Griffin* still won facing the same competition since West V is now in the BIG whatever.

I would imagine Geno's stats are trashing Griffin's by this point.

Geno Smith has 24 touch downs and zero interceptions.

His completion % is 81.4%

His team is 5-0 and 2-0 in the conference.

Doubt it. Should be pretty close, RG3 had some insane stats last year as well.

ETA: 5 games in RG3 had an 80.4% 19/1 TD/INT but he had a couple of TDs on the ground to go with that.

I am sticking with my prediction that Colin Klein will win it.

There was a brief period when his last OC tried to make him run the zone read, but aside from that, although he can run just fine he's been a pure dropback passer, and a damn good one.

I'm takin #12.

He was the early favorite with great performances in the beginning of the season...fell off...after a loss to K-State with a bad INT to end the game and a bad loss to Okie State...and then we heard so much about the #2 Tide and Trent Richardson...then on November 19th RGIII had that great last second "Heisman moment" pass to beat #5 Oklahoma and RGIII was back in the mix as a favorite with a great performance against name brand Texas to end the year and seal his win.

That's how I remember it.

I still think WVU has to win their big games coming up.

If Klein were to win win it, would he have the worst stats of any Heisman winner in the modern era?

Him winning would most likely mean he's the second player ever to get 20/20.
