I think I'm going to start a weekly Heisman watch for college, so this is the 1st ever weekly Heisman Extravaganza!
1. Trent Richardson, RB Alabama
Look at that fucking run! The Captain brought something up to me yesterday and said that the Heisman is no longer about the player, but about the best player on the best team and I agree with that it has gone that way. However, in Richardson's case Bama wouldn't be 2 (should be 1) if it weren't for him and his strong running. AJ McCarron is a new starting QB in the Bama system figuring Greg McElroy is gone, and Trent has made a transition seamless for him. Richardson nearly has 1000 yards already and 17 TDs on the season. He can both power through guys or juke around them and gets stronger during games. Bama hasn't padded his stats and if he played a full game he could easily have over 20 TDs on the season. He's also a good receiver out of the backfield.
2. Tajh Boyd, QB Clemson
Yea, yea, yea, Andrew Luck, Kellen Moore and Landry Jones could all be here, but I hold it against them because they are supposed to do it. Know one knew who Tajh Boyd was let in the beginning of the season, let alone knowing he would dominate this year. As much as I don't take Clemson seriously as a championship contender if you throw for 367 yards and 5 TDs and rush for one more, that gets my attention. He has been amazing this year and has 28 TDs on the season and Clemson wouldn't be close to where they are this year without him.
3. Andrew Luck QB Stanford
Luck is good and is a sure thing for an NFL QB. He has 21 TDs on the season and is throwing with accuracy over 70%. They have a giant game against Matt Barkley, Lane Kiffen and USC this weekend. If he takes care of USC on National TV he will probably make a jump on this board. Last week the conservative play calling only had Luck throw for 2 TDs and under 200 yards.
