I am notching my Heisman vote for Toby Gerhart. If you look at this kids stats game in and game out, he never took a day off. Kid got his yards. Some would argue that because Stanford finished at 8-4 he is less legitimate than say Mark Ingram. I disagree because teams like Alabama, Florida, and Texas have lots of weapons to help other guys look good and also spread the defense in many areas. The Cardinal are not a power house and any coach who watches the tape knows where the ball is going yet he still gained ground.
Many are calling for Suh and saying if he doesn't win its because old sportswriters only want to give it to offensive players. For me, he doesn't get my vote because if he doesn't show up like that against Texas he's not even in talks. Beano Cooke used to say the two best ways to win the Heisman is to play for Notre Dame or Beat Notre Dame. I think the same is true for teams like Florida and Texas today. I'm hesitant to give the Heisman to a guy based on one game.
Also, my sincerest thanks go to Navy quarterback Ricky Dobbs on his record breaking 24th rushing TD this season, breaking Lord Tebow's record for single season rushing TDs by a quarterback. Thank Jesus for that one crybaby.
