The Most Outstanding Player in College Football

Case Keenum, who will throw for eleventy-thousand yards. Taking system quarterbacking to a whole new galaxy.

Huck – Compare and contrast Eric Berry an Earl Thomas.

I’ve enjoyed watching Toby Gerhart.

Berry is ahead of Thomas on my ballot perhaps only because I’ve watched every Earl Thomas play this year. I’ve seen a handful of missed tackles that gave up first downs. I’ve only watched Berry twice and I have yet to see him screw up.

Thomas is awesome, no doubt.

1. Gerald McCoy
1a. Suh
2. Berry
3. Rolando McClain

I would still put Eric Berry ahead of Thomas though Thomas may be having the best year of the two.

Shipley just got in the mix.

Suh is really, really good. He’s having an incredible first quarter.

1. Suh
2. The kid from Clemson

Haven’t seen much of the others. McCoy is big but not as athletic as Suh.

Jerrod Johnson

Ingram
Suh
Shipley

Blow me

Colt

Golden Taint

Hard to put Suh behind McCoy when the Ndamukong has 30 more tackles…

everytime i watch andrew luck play, he has been great. i think i would take him over any QB

If Bradford can win the trophy, Keenum certainly should be in consideration. It’s hard for me to think of a team that relies on a player more than UH relies on him. Great in the clutch, too – more so than, say, Jimmy Clausen is.

Suh is his mirror image. NU is pretty much nothing without him.

I’d put Ingram in there too.

Shipley/McCoy, Gerhart, Keenum.

CurrentLonghornStudent is full of racist1

Can the award be shared by two players from the same team who hunt and fish together?

Isn’t this the year Lying Ryan or Bomar pick up the hardware?

i agree with suh, his pressure every play on landry is what won nb the game

The play of CJ Spiller this year has been amazing. He might wind up stealing the trophy as nobody has really been talking about him.

How do you separate the best player in college fb from the team they play on? It is still a team game isn’t it? Without Colt we would currently have 4 wins, maybe. I know the defense has scored enough to win several games, but not all. And, would the defense have been off the field long enough to win those four games with Gilbert or Chiles as qb? Don’t think so.

So, for all of the criticism Colt takes, we should be glad we have him.

He’s got my vote. I don’t think Shipley, though deserving, would step into the race at this point. When has a Heisman candidate been successful after a half year campaign. It would just muddy the water for Colt.

What tree said.

Suh. Ingram Nesbitt (GT).

There’s always one guy I see play per season that is at a cat/ball/yarn level against D-I competition. Last year, it was Crabtree. This year it’s Suh. He’s more than just a future Pro Bowler. Unfortunately, other thoughts include the Big 12 sucks and I’m afraid Texas won’t look so good in the MNC game. Not because of lack of talent, but because of lack of competition throughout the season. Texas doesn’t have one win that’s worth a shit. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is for Texas that Nebraska wins the North. The Texas OL needs a look at Suh and Crick for contingency planning purposes in the big show.

Good call on that one, ded…a game with NU would definitely be more than just a tune-up for the MNC…at least for our offense.

Yawn. Ded that’s the same sort of bullshit we heard before playing USC in ‘05. Who has Florida beaten that’s worth a shit? If you say LSU then I’ll know you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Suh, Berry and Jonathan Dwyer. In that order.

Toby F’in Gerhart.

A pretty decent Oregon defense knew exactly what was coming on every play and could barely slow him down. He literally created 10-12 first downs on his own in that game.

It should not be Tim Tebow or Colt McCoy. Jordan Shipley would be more deserving than those two.

Flaming, that’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen you post. The SEC has a lot better players than the Pac-10.

LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh has been disciplined by the team after being ticketed for negligent driving for ramming three parked cars with his sport utility vehicle over the weekend.

I should also interject here to say, fuck Augie.

As I told you last night, they should give it to Vince along with an apology.

Another vote for Tate.

Ded – well no shit. I wasn’t suggesting that the Pac 10 has the same calibur of team as the SEC. What I was trying to get across is that the year we beat USC, we heard for over a month that Texas hadn’t seen a team with the kind of talent as USC. And that was the truth. Yet we still managed to win anyway. I fail to see how not having played anyone on Florida or Alabama’s level will truly hurt us, should we find ourselves in a position of playing them. We’ve played offenses a hell of a lot better than anything in the SEC and we’ve played a defense in ou that may not be on the quite the same level of Texas, Alabama or Florida but then again it might be. It’s a damn close imitation if it isn’t.

Have we played a team with both a great offense and a great defense? No. Has Florida or Alabama though? No. And I’m not so convinced that even after they play each other will they have faced a team with both. Hell, after one of them plays Texas they probably won’t have played a team with both. Thus to "worry’ that Texas won’t look so good in the MNC game, wouldn’t make anymore sense than to worry about how Florida or Alabama would look. That is unless you’re just so eaten up by your own bias against Texas you get “worry that I’ll see” confused with “hope that I’ll see”; as is the case here. I mean I can see that, but I wonder if you can.

Jordan Shipley is the best player in the nation…

One of those guys are you.

Flaming, you bring up some good points there, so I’ll discuss the finer points of the game with you. In the integrity of accuracy, I don’t think I can sign off on this deal because I’m not convinced you are using reasonable comps. You’re the same guy that told me a 4 BR 3 BA in Henderson, NV was worth $600,000 in 2005. I ‘just don’t agree that USC’s team from 4 years ago, and you with Vince Young, is going to provide us with any insight into the how a TX vs Bama/Florida matchup would play out. I watch football on a year-to-year basis, and in the current, it appears Bama and Florida do 2 fundamental things really well that win football games. They block on offense and tackle on defense. I wholeheartedly believe that Texas tackles on defense, however, I would be lying to your internet face if I told you I thought Texas was a good blocking team. Or for that matter, any team they’ve faced in this conference. Plays work, no matter the simplicity, if you have good enough players on offense to execute them. It all starts up from in my perspective, and while both teams will be fielding good defenses, I have to lean towards the team that I think has a better chance of successfully blocking their counterpart. In your case, I feel it’s Bama or Florida, teams that both have respectable enough running/playaction games to neutralize the Texas pass rush. Given the film that is available, do you think Nick Saban respects the Texas running game? Seriously, do you think he’s worried about Terrance Cody getting turned by Chris Hall? I’ll continue this conversation if you want to keep it about football. However, I am catching onto the “why do you hate your father?” bullshit tone in your responses and I don’t really have the time or inclination to justify my bias, whether perceived or real, fuckface.

Keep in mind too that at last check, Suh was also among the national leaders in pass breakups.

Pass breakups!!

Combine that with fact that he swatted away two(? – think so not positive) more passes against the Fuckin Hillbillies (ah, Callahan, your greatest contribution) as well as blocked a field goal & also drew a personal foul against the Sooner lineman for shoving him from behind after the whistle late in the game out of frustration.

He’s also turning Jared Crick into an All Big 12 lock as well.

He’s something to watch week after week, have never seen a DT put up the numbers he does. For crying out loud he’s got 3 career interceptions, two returned for touchdowns. It’s like watching someone’s douchebag uncle insist on playing in the kids Thanksgiving touch football game & start behaving like Matt Dillon against the retards in Something About Mary.

Ron Franklin was spouting off nonsense that would make Harry Carey sound lucid at his drunkest Saturday nite, but got it right when he introduced McCoy as one of the best defensive tackles & Suh as THE best defensive player in the nation.

I wasn’t really trying to compare USC from four years ago to either Florida or Alabama, I was simply pointing out that in 2005 we heard the same sort of things we’re starting to hear now about how much trouble Texas was going to be in, when faced with a quality opponent. Much like I felt then, I don’t feel like having played or not played a quality oppenent will have any bearing on the outcome of the game. Either Texas will be better than Florida or Alabama or it won’t be. Who we’ve played I don’t feel will have any significant impact on the outcome.

No I don’t suspect that Saban is too worried about us running on that nasty defense of his. Nor I suspect is Urban Meyer up at night worring about how to shut down Cody Johnson. But both of them might be a tad perturbed by having to bring their own fatally flawed offenses into a game against Will Muschamp and this defense. You can’t win if you can’t score. Am I suppose to be impressed by Bama’s utter suckitude in the passing game? Or maybe I’m suppose to be anxious about stopping the Tebow express with its exactly ZERO game changers? We have the best defense in the country. We have the highest beta out of the Big Three. I like our chances. You don’t. Fair enough.

You don’t have to justify your bias, but it’d be nice if you could see that at least in this one case it’s impacting your football rationale. Otherwise you wouldn’t feel the need to bring up your opinion about UT’s chances in a game against Fla or Ala so often, Ball-Breath.
