Winston wins the heisman tonight.

Over the way Mariota has been playing? No way.

17 TDS, 0 Ints. Doesn't stand a chance.

Winston is 17 and 2 with a higher completion percentage, ypa, and rating.

so naturally that means he definitively wins the heisman tonight.

lets not even compare rushing yards.

[Abraham]

My comment was intended to mean he will play well and draw attention the way Manziel did last year during the Bama game.

I was joking that Mariotta doesn't stand a chance. Mariotta has just as good if not better stats so for abe to claim that winston locks it up tonight is ridonkulous.

Yeah. Lot of football left to be played.

LSU down 10-0 to Miss too? Another SEC upset today?

 

[Steve Tasker]

I think marriota would be a worthy winner. But he isn't as visible as Winston.

East coast bias

Yes. And?

For those of you having trouble understanding:

1. Winston is on prime time tonight. Marriota is not.

2. I expect him to play well.

3. Those two things will vault him to the "front" of the heisman leaderboard, where I think he will stay.

 

[Steve Tasker]

I love Winston. I was in here last week talking about how he'll be an NFL superstar in a few years and should be the #1 pick when he comes out.

I was agreeing with you. Winston is more visible than Mariota partially because of the east coast bias.

 

[Osaurus]

Noles roll!

 

[Raider Nation]

How on earth is Clemson ranked 3rd? This team is awful. Oh, wait.... here are their wins.

Georgia

S.C. State

N.C. State

Wake Forest

Syracuse

B.C.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Tigers may need to take a few more bus laps to settle down.

 

[NutterButter]

Mariotta is averaging 10 yds/rush. That combined with a 17-0 TD/Int ratio is pretty awesome.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

What a letdown this game is becoming.

Is this schtick or do people really believe in this?

I think he's definitely leading but I also think there's a certain amount of "That's just Oregon's offense" when voters look at those numbers.

Is it bias or just that people don't watch the west coast games as much b/c of the later time zone.

 

[East Coast Bias]

No way Mariota wins the Heisman.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

If FSU houses Clemson they better be #2.

 

[Raider Nation]

How long has Donovan McNabb been tutoring Boyd? He throws some gorgeous bounce passes.

 

[Steve Tasker]

That's not a very Heisman-like play....

Looks like an option route, and Winston read something different than the WR did.

 

[NutterButter]

Oof

 

[Raider Nation]

Textbook backwards drive once they got into FG range.

 

[AAABatteries]

My god - Alabama laying a beatdown on the Razorbacks. They are ridiculous. Really hoping for a Bama v Ducks matchup.

 

[AAABatteries]

Nice job Arkansas - you finally stop them and then rough the punter.

 

[Raider Nation]

My god - Alabama laying a beatdown on the Razorbacks. They are ridiculous.

Bielema's expression never changes.

You can't tell if he's losing 42-0 or if someone asked him for help with the NY Times crossword puzzle.

Did you happen to see the pregame handshake with him and Saban? He's a giant and a lardass.

He did marry a young, good looking hooker though. Gotta give him that.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Am I crazy or should Colorado be kicked out of D-I for only beating Charleston Southern 43-10. I mean, shouldn't a D-I team win that like 80-0?

CSU was 7-0 and ranked 24th in FCS.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

I can't believe College GameDay was at FSU/Clemson instead of UMASS/Buffalo.

Still an outside shot at The Beef. I'd love a trip to St. Pete in mid-December.

I've got you guys talking about UMass. My job here is done.

Tasker, please tell me you didn't sit through that downpour to witness that.

Horrendous call on Blanchflower getting tossed, but this offense is just dysfunctional right now. Disappointing considering Molnar was an OC under Kelly at Notre Dame. Mack is a lot of fun to watch, and Oliver is a heck of a player as well.

That said, probably still will be favored with 0-8 Western Michigan coming to Gillette next week.

And De'Anthony Thomas has been out battling an ankle injury.

 

[Raider Nation]

God help the team that drafts Boyd. He has major issues with his mechanics.

Better than Petrino giving the hooker a job in the athletic department.

If there's one thing I want for Xmas it's that she starts banging one of the Razorback players. And I've never stepped foot in the state of Wisconsin.

 

[AAABatteries]

Nice tackling by Climpsun.

 

[bentley]

Baylor also not looking bad.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

FSU and Miami gonna play in two weeks with both teams undefeated.

No, thankfully...I watched on TV. Weather has been bad pretty much all day after like 11 AM.

I missed when Blanchflower got tossed actually; I never saw what happened.

UMass moved the ball pretty well at times, but always seemed to shoot themselves in the foot. Pick up a few first downs and then take a bad sack. Or a bad penalty. Or I recall one time they were driving and then the center had a brutal shotgun snap and the RB had to fall on it for like a 15 yard loss. Those mistakes just killed them in the long run.

 

[Raider Nation]

Boyd is brutal.

 

[NutterButter]

Yeah, what the hell was that

 

[wazoo11]

God help the team that drafts Boyd. He has major issues with his mechanics.

And to think he was this close to committing towards BC over Clemson.

 

[Raider Nation]

Mariota's Heisman campaign is doing just fine.

 

[Abraham]

Baylor has to be in the top 5 after this week, right?

 

[Steve Tasker]

Interesting helmets for the Ducks.

 

[Jayded]

For those who care, Tommy Rees knocked out of the ND/USC game on a hard tackle. Looked to me like a concussion, and the defender clearly hit him in the head and drove his head into the ground (no penalty). Andrew Hendrix in and playing terrible. ND will have to win the game on defense.

 

[AAABatteries]

Alabama - No turnovers, no penalties, no sacks allowed, no points allowed. 52-0

How's it possible to be that bad as a qb? He's literally incapable of passing the ball. He's the 2nd qb. Does he not throw the ball at practice?

I have them at 24 in my latest NFL power rankings.

To go from semi-competent against Stanford two years ago in a backup start when Rees was injured to this is remarkable. It's clear why Rees hasn't been pulled for poor play this year so far. But it really raises the question of whether ND should redshirt Zaire anymore.

I know Kelly doesn't want to burn the redshirt, but let's be realistic: Rees is gone next year, Hendrix is likely gone as well to med school. That means your QB situation is definitely Zaire as a redshirt freshman and Kizer (2013 recruit). If Golson comes back, that definitely helps, but what if he doesn't come back? You HAVE to get Zaire experience this year, especially if Tommy misses the next game.
