Heisman Watch 2009: Colt McCoy Needs “Flutie Moment” To Pass Gerhart

GridironGeneral — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:26:41 +0000

They don't like rewarding the Heisman Trophy to people who do what they were expected to do. It doesn't go to solid, consistent performers. It goes to flashy superstars. It goes to the guys who shock the world with almost above-human performances time and time again. It goes to guys that everybody has been amazed by and enamored with. It goes to legendary performers who leave lasting memories for decades to come. I dare say that this is the problem for both Ingram and McCoy - this year there just isn't enough of a national love affair with these guys. So who are we in love with? Who shocked and amazed us? Who overachieved? He's a running back who wears red, but he's not from

NCAA Quarterbacks 2009: The Top Three Part II – Sam Bradford

GridironGeneral — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 16:42:15 +0000

Quarterback Sam Bradford was not highly recruited out of high school. Bradford was rated a 3-star prospect and was overshadowed by many of the high-powered recruits in his class. But I'll bet ya anything he didn't mind that a bit. As a red-shirt freshman he won the starting position and never looked back. It's rumored that he reads the story "David and Goliath" before every game - but I've got news for Sam Bradford - he's not David anymore - and everyone he faces will be reading that same book before gametime.

Who will win the Heisman? Who will play for their conference championship? For these three NCAA hometown heroes, nothing will satisfy any of them short of the National Championship - and don't let anyone tell you

Josh Freeman Is Not Ready Yet For The NFL

GridironGeneral — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 01:19:49 +0000

Josh Freeman is an amazing physical specimen. 6'6" 240 pounds. Awesome arm strength. Very good speed. Elusive. All that good stuff. But Freeman is 20 years old and coming out of Kansas State with a losing record overall, a very inconsistent performance, questionable leadership skills, and is more than likely going to disappear in the NFL - at least for a
