GRRRRRRRR OSU had LSU... and then they missed the PAT in OT

[Corey Balint]

Im thinking this year is gonna be good-no real dominant teams-like u saw in the LSU OSU game-every team will start to have a chance. I also think for that same reason no team will go undefeated.

LSU's field was soggy as all hell, negating their rather significant speed advantage they would have had over OSU

U of M's special teams were starting to worry me at first, both their kick and receive teams.. For kick, Miami was gaining too much yardage because the Wolverines didn't stay in their "lanes" to contain while charging.. And for receive, U of M wasn't getting as much yardage as they could have.. As the commentator said, "It's gonna be an interesting special teams meeting." LOL but then again who am I to judge

But overall, they did awesome, especially Braylon and Henne, I'm looking forward to this season.. GO BLUE!

Heisman leaders after week one:
Kay-Jay Harris-RB-West Virginia
337 yards on 25 carries-13.5 yards per carry
4 TD's-equalled his last season's total
Scored on 2, 5, 51, and 76 yard runs

Cedric Benson-RB-Texas
also gets a mention for his 181 yard, 2 td, performance
Texas ran for 513 yards in the game, if he had been the number one back, then he would be first.

J.J. Arrington-RB-Cal
181 yards and 3 tds.
Cal had 4 other rushing TD's which took away from his total.

Ummm... You can't really have a Heisman leader after week one.

Of all the players you listed on there, probably the only one to actually get any votes will be Cedric Benson. Arrington won't repeat performances like that very often, if at all in the PAC-10 games. Harris played Temple, who is absolutely miserable.

The Heisman leaders are still gonna be Jason White, Darren Sproles, Matt Leinhart, etc.

O ya i know that-im just saying after week one-they are the best performers, i knew someone was gonna say that you cant look at the heisman after week one-shouldve said best of the week.

I do think Harris will have a great season though and be some may look at him as a possible pick, but ultimately wont win it. He will probably end up with Big East player of the year.

underrated team- University of Virginia-#20

Terrific front 7 on D, top 5 at least in the nation, They have excellent RB's, great o-line,Heath Miller, and a smart enough QB to challenge and maybe win the ACC title

For all you Purdue kids, they looked tough today and absolutely destroyed Syracuse 51-0.

Heismans an easy pick. I don't think it would be fair not to give it to Darren Sproles barring a Barry Sanders performance by someone else. He ran 221 yds in the first game. Check out Darren Sproles for Heisman to see some stats and video. I would definitely reccomend downloading and watching this video

Jason White will not repeat (I think heisman voters feel ripped off after his non Heisman like finish last year), but I think Oklahoma is up to the challenge of winning it all despite a slow start.

After watching K-state play yesterday I have mixed feelings. They only beat Western Kentucky 27-13, a dismal performance for a game that should be 60 something to nothing. Still the Wildcats rushed for 300yrds and passed for nearly 200. They just couldn't finish in the redzone. Defense had a subpar start too, but I'm confident it will get a lot better over the next couple weeks. Only question is will it be quick enough, a good Fresno State team is in Manhattan next Saturday.

Purdue killed Ball State - 59-7. It was a great game.

Sorry Nelson.

That was a very nice ending to the OSU and Michigan game...down to the wire with a last second 54yd. field goal...

You all know I love to toot Stanford's horn, but after handily dismantling a better than average BYU team with a very confusing defense (Who beat ND last week, also a better than average team, who happed to beat those guys that callthemselves the Wolverines), Stanford has arrived on the radar.

Probably not a threat to go to the Rose Bowl, but definitely a threat to surprise some other teams who thought theyd have no problem running right over Stanford

If they had made any single one of the PATs they missed, they would have one. with 3 missed PATs they do not deserve to win.
