It’s about to be a busy time here at HP.  Things to keep an eye out for in the next week or two:
–The annual HP All-American team.
–The annual top 10 most-talented teams list.
–The annual preseason top conferences list.
–The launch of the third annual HP Fantasy Challenge, the best college football fantasy game on the net.  [...]

USC junior tailback Stafon Johnson is a dark horse candidate for the Heisman and one of the top tailbacks in the country.  Despite being hobbled for much of last season, he still rushed for 673 yards and 5 touchdowns while averaging a stellar 6.9 yards per carry.  When playing at 100%, he was fairly unstoppable.  [...]

Why do I think these schools should be great?  Well, they all have a good recruiting base, a modicum of past success and tradition, manageable academic admissions and, maybe most [...]

Seeing as how this site has a couple pet interests outside the Heisman–namely, offensive innovation and the science of speed–I thought these two links would be a propos.
–First, a look at the A-11 offense, where all 11 players are eligible to catch the ball.  Could this be the future?  Coaches from almost 40 Division One [...]

Today, we look at Florida junior wide receiver/running back Percy Harvin and what he has to do to win the Heisman:
Stat Requirements: 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving, plus at least 20 total touchdowns…that’s his surest route to the Trophy.  Of all things, I think attaining 1,000 receiving yards is his most essential requirement.  [...]
