Our Thoughts
Brian – Leak didn’t do poorly, but he also didn’t impress in his first game against a top notch opponent (Tennessee) so he falls this week. He’ll have to do a little bit more this weekend if he wants to stay on my list. Leinart looked very good against the piggies and if he plays that well against Oregon this weekend he’ll probably vault Bush on my list regardless of what he does. Like it or not, the Heisman has become a quarterback award and Bush will really have to earn it if he wants to beat out Young and Leinart.
Matt – Leinart and Bush looked very dominate and put up some impressive numbers, but that was against Arkansas, so I feel you have to take all of that with a grain of salt. I still think the trophy is Vince’s to lose. I moved Maroney up because basically, that guy is just sick. He added another 200 total yards and 3 touchdowns in the first half of last weeks game. He will be good in the NFL.

Who in the world is Elvis Dumervil? Nine sacks in two games is ridiculous. At that pace he’ll end the season with like 45 sacks, which he’ll have to do if he actually wants to win this award.
