The Heisman Trophy is one of the most coveted awards in college football. Winning the Heisman Trophy puts you among the best payers in college football. There are some fantastic players this year in college football and I'm going to watch them weekly to see who deserves the Heisman Trophy.
The number one person so far has people quite divided, but I have Vince Young at number one. The reason I have him ahead of Matt Leinart is game play and intangibles. The only way I can describe Vince Young so far is that he is a beast. He's got 544 passing yards, 202 rushing yards and 6 total TD's. He's got good numbers but what really impresses me is his playmaking ability. In the game against Ohio State, he led his team to victory and just showed what an athlete he really is. I'm watching the game and Ohio State is winning. I leave for 10 minutes, come back and Texas is winning mainly because of Vince Young. I think his ability to win the big game and his composure puts him in the number one spot in the Heisman. 2. Matt Leinart, QB, USC, Sr. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner is back for his senior season and has a good chance of winning it again. Leinart has a good supporting cast and has put up great numbers so far. He has thrown for 713 yards with a 75 % completion rating. He also has 7 TD's and 1 INT. Leinart had elbow surgery before the season started and we will have to see if it has any affect on his arm strength. Leinart and USC have completely walloped their last two opponents but we will have to see what happens later on in the season when USC faces more difficult teams. 3. Reggie Bush, RB, USC, Jr. Reggie Bush is known throughout the country for his ability to break games wide open. Bush is also in the Heisman race with his teammate, Leinart, and is a good candidate. What impresses me most about Reggie is his versatility. His running and catching ability makes him a likely candidate for the Heisman. Bush has decent numbers with 211 rushing yards and 128 receiving yards. He also has 4 total TD's. Bush is a legitimate candidate and should give anyone who is ahead of him a run for their money. 4. Reggie McNeal, QB, Texas A&M, Sr.
The other Reggie hasn't gotten as much publicity as Reggie Bush, but is just as important, if not more, than Bush to his team. McNeal is the full package at quarterback. He has got a great, strong arm and has the ability to scramble very well. He has been fantastic for A&M throwing for 459 yards and 6 TD's. He also ran for 200 rushing yards and one TD. His play on the field has been great so far and his stock his rising quick. Towards the end of the season you could see McNeal's name at number 1. Omar Jacobs gets looked over sometimes because he is not in a BCS conference, but this guy is the real deal. He's just electric on the field. He's another quarterback that can throw and can run. He has done it all for Bowling Green, an otherwise mediocre team. He's thrown for a whopping 886 yards, 10 TD's and 2 picks. He hasn't run quite as much but his passing stats are ridiculous. If he keeps this up, he could be the one hoisting the Heisman and the Maxwell. We shall see how Jacobs' play effects Bowling Greens status also at the end of the year. Outside Looking In:
Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville, So.
Laurence Maroney, RB, Minnesota, Jr.
Brian Calhoun, RB, Wisconsin, Jr.
Chris Leak, QB, Florida, Jr.
Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame, Jr. Story writing contestLog in or create an account to vote for this story!
