Well Darth, college ball is my favorite, but work has kept me from following like i use to. But from what I've seen the kid from College Station, is one hell of a player.....

Manti Te'o would not be the first defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy!
Charles Woodson won it as a great cornerback for Michigan, in 1997... but even he had the added advantage of being a great punt and kick return guy too. He is still playing cornerback and safety for Green Bay.
I realize he's only a Freshman... but Johnny Manziel will get robbed if he doesn't win it this year!

This is the reason that the Heisman is a joke. Manizel is going to win the trophy, but he shouldn't. His hype is based on two games - and in large part the Alabama game. The rest of the season he was a mediocre football player. Great for a freshman, but is isn't in the same category as a lot of other players out there.
Against FL he didn't throw for a touchdown on only one rushing TD. Against LSU he threw 3 INT's and didn't have a TD. Its great Texas A&M beat AL and he had a great game, but one game shouldn't give you the Heisman.
Who should get it? Not sure I would give to any of the three thats listed. The Heisman has become the best "hype award". If I had to choose of that three, I would pick Te'o. He has had a better season than Manizel.

based on total numbers, Johnny .... he hyped right by Newtons #'s and set the NCAA record for total offense despite two so-so games. ... LSU and Florida games would be a different story today, and ND would be playing for 2nd place. Been a while since a football field saw a kid play like Johnny Football Manziel

Mediocre????
Are you sure we're talking about the same kid????????
Have you checked out his season stats?
If he doesn't get picked, simply because he's a freshman.... then, the whole Heisman concept is nothing but a sham!

No, to the contrary. An ambivalent fan of the Heisman. To me, the Heisman lost all credibility when Charles Woodson won it over Payton Manning. My father will say that the Heisman lost all credibility when Paul Horning won it while playing on a team with a loosing record.
My only point is that too much credit is given to players that have the best PR late in the seaon. I understand thats the world we live in, I just don't think he is the best football player in the NCAA.
Johnny has one good game against Alabama and all the sudden he is the best player in college football? I think not. What happened when he played two other SEC powers, he was a dud. Is that a sign of the best player in the country? I think not. It should be a season long accomplishment rather than being an accumulator and having a good game at the end of the season.

Yes, he is a accumalotor and A&M is a damn good team. Like I said, he had two impact-full games. Alabama and Mizzu. Two incredible games!
BUT, lets say that A&M plays the Gumps and Mizzu at the beginning of the season and he plays LSU and FL at the end of the season. He is a combined 52 for 92. Thats a 63% completion rate. He accumulated a total of 449 yards passing averaging 225 yards per game. He rushed for 87 yards off of 34 attempts for those two game. Thats 2.5 yards per attempt. He only had one rushing TD (none passing) and and 3 INT's. I say he isn't even invited to New York if the schedule is flipped.
SO, he plays three tough games. Kills it in one and is mediocre in the other two. Sorry, I think he is a product of hype and timing.

The Heisman Memorial Trophy Award (usually known colloquially as the Heisman Trophy or the Heisman), is awarded annually to the player deemed the most outstanding player in collegiate football.
when the kids from KS and ND rewrite the NCAA record book like Manziel did, call me.

I am asking honestly and not flaming, but what NCAA records did Manziel break? Maybe some records for freshmen, but not total numbers.
But like you said in your description of the Heisman, its for the most outstanding player in collegiate football. I still think that of the three finalists, Te'o is the best collegiate football player. (He actually might have broken a record for INT's in a season for a MLB) I could make an arguement that Jadeveon Clowney, Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones, LSU DE Sam Montgomery/LSU DE Mingo and Florida State end Bjoern Werner are better collegiate football players.
Johnny has a great year, but he IMHO I don't think he is the best collegiate football player. BUT, I am will be happy for the kid.

they're all good kids and Im proud for them .. If the award goes to the outstanding player of the year like its designed to do the above list of credits cant be beat ... as an old weakside linebacker, I like Teo too .. 8.9 tackles a game got him a call from Butkis ... having a personal conversation with "The Animal" how great would that be?
peace out

Poll
If the Notre Dame linebacker wins (unlikely) he will not be the first defensive player to do so. The year everyone thought Peyton Manning would win it went instead to Charles Woodson!
OOPS...Mr. Giz beat me to it!
