The Heisman Trophy used to be something really special. It is so hard to single out one player for this prestigious award, maybe it is not so appropriate now?
The team concept was always important but it used to be, I think easier, to single out the performance of one player. Maybe it isn't now?
I never saw candidates performance come down to one game like it did yesterday.
I felt a little sorry for Tim Tebew, he gave his heart and soul and came up short. Colt McCoy is a good player but I am not sure he is worthy of the Heisman.
That defensive player for Nebraska impressed me as much as any one player and that Inghram for Alabama really sealed the deal for them this year.
I don't know, glad it isn't my pick.
When you look back at past winners you find great players, has beens and even a known murderer in the bunch. I guess that is going to happen over time.
