If Case Keenum doesn't win the Heisman this year the trophy loses it's credibility. Best player in college football, not best player on the best team. The man wills his team to victory despite the obstacles thrown in his way! Forget the hype Tebow, Ingram, and McCoy undeservingly get from the media. Don't be a lemming. Keenum is the only logical choice of any informed voter. Add 522 passing yards and three touchdowns to Keenum’s numbers. …And another last minute come from behind victory.

One of Ingram's key games comes in a match up against Tebow and the Gators. Assuming both teams win out, wouldnt the winner of that game have the upper hand?

Ingram's Tide only ranks 13th in rushing, while the team passing yardage comes in a low 98th in the nation--maybe if Alabama would pass more Ingram's stats wouldn't look so good. Same thing with Tebow leading Florida to a disappointing 89th in the nation in passing yards per game. A quarter back win the Heisman with such a poor showing passing? Please tell me no! Sure Houston passes more than other programs in the FBS, but their program isn't as lopsided as let's say Texas Tech. Houston is 69th in the country in rushing just behind ninth ranked LSU. Not great, but not as bad a focus as people would have you believe. Keenum runs an offense that puts up an amazing 563 yards per game--first in the nation. Tebow's Florida 13th, McCoy's Texas 31st, and Ingram's Alabama 33rd. Keenum is the leader of the second highest scoring team in the nation only behind the Longhorns. Ingram doesn't even deserve the hype he's getting right now, he doesn't lead the nation in total yard rushing (6th), yards per attempt (16th), or even rushing touchdowns (tied with Tebow in 26th place). Case Keenum has lead a Cougar team to a 7-1 record (only loss to UTEP he passed for 536 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions) and a unexpected ranking of 15th in the BCS. Alabama, Florida, and Texas have only met expectations. Keenum's Cougars have suprised everyone. But more than any of those offensive statistics we ought to be looking at the defense. Florida, Texas, and Alabama are ranked 2nd, 3rd, and 4th respectively on defense. Maybe this has something to do with their BCS rankings. McCoy sure didn't help UT beat OU (127 yards passing, 1 TD, 1 INT). Houston's 114th ranked defense has done very little driving the Cougars to 7-1. If it weren't for the poor defense we would have Keenum #1 by far with the Houston being a BCS buster. Keenum beat USM with a last minute touchdown drive. Keenum put MSSU away in the forth quarter. Keenum finished a 95-yard forth quarter drive with the come from behind rushing touchdown with less than a minute remaining on the clock against Texas Tech. Keenum went into Stillwater and defeated then #5 Oklahoma State on forth quarter touchdown drives. Through stats or actions it is clear Keenum makes more of a difference to his team than any other player in college football hands down.
