…so I’ll soon have my full breakdown of the recruits who are most likely to become factors in future Heisman races. Not many blockbusters in this class from what I can see, but lots of good players with a chance to win a Heisman if things work out right.

If you want to win a Heisman Trophy, you have a distinct advantage if you go to one of these schools.  I take into account media presence, Heisman tradition, recent Heisman success and overall program mystique when putting together this ranking.    1. USC–Three Heismans this decade and seven trophies overall, plus a glitzy program set in [...]

Running backs took the first two spots in Heisman balloting for the first time since 1994, when Rashaan Salaam and Ki-Jana Carter went 1-2.

I don’t usually watch or pay much attention to the NFL, but I’ve been watching these playoffs and I think we might be in for quite an exciting Super Bowl.  While the Jets aren’t exactly a dynamic offensive team, they’ve been a great story with their defense and running game, as well as a rookie coach [...]

That’s the buzz on the street.  And I hear USC athletic director Mike Garrett has already returned from a trip during which he met with a prospective replacement. The smart money is on Oregon State’s Mike Riley (a former USC offensive coordinator) to take over for Carroll. In the span of three weeks, we’ve seen Urban Meyer retire [...]

Congrats to Alabama on its first national title since 1992 … The game was a fitting way to end the season. It wasn’t exactly the most scintillating year, was it? … No truly dominant team, no truly dominant Heisman winner, no masterfully-played title game, either … In short, the game sort of summed up how [...]
