Kevin Smith’s stats leave the rest of the pack in the dust and he doesn’t even get named as a finalist? I guess they must have changed the award criteria to the “second” best running back in the nation.

Chris wells from ohio state was left off the list because he can’t seem to get over a 2 year old ankle injury, im over the injury the fans are over it and he should get over it as well. I think he would be on it but not the winner had he been healthy. also, i think the kid from houston is tough had he played for a more high profile team he might win.

“Hypothetical: The Denver Broncos draft Jamaal Charles. How many millions of yards does he rush for, in the first half of his rookie season?”

Yeah, it will be interesting to see what Charles can do when he gets to play for a real coach.

Milkman, I think that’s Gerald Crawford.

I would think that freshmens or not, Knowshon Moreno probably belongs on the list. Stone cold stud. And bonus points to his candidacy for game prepping for Florida by pounding beers & counter dancing while Stafford autographs & licks chicks bellies at an apartment bash.

You do that & rush for 198 yards in the Cocktail Party as a frosh, you’re on the fast track to “I’m Keith Hernandez” status.

McFadden should win it again, but I’d be OK with Kevin Smith. Something tells me Matt Forte is not going to win.

I don’t think you could create in a lab a better running back for the Broncos.

After I posted, I actually read the article and see that McFadden won the award last year as a soph. I stand corrected. Perhaps the committee nixed the OSU running back due to a requirement that he not play for a team supported by douchebags, but McFadden ruins that theory too.
