Our Thoughts
Brian – My entire list is new, not a single person stays in the spot they occupied. Adrian Peterson missed his opportunity to put himself in the driver’s seat for the award by putting up yet another solid but unspectacular game against the Longhorns. When he gave up on Paul Thompson’s lateral he may have also lost any chance he had to win the Heisman. Troy Smith moves to number one and Garrett Wolfe is now at number two. As long as Ohio State keeps winning, it’s going to take something remarkable for anyone to jump Smith.
Matt – I am leaving Garrett Wolfe in the #1 spot. He is just too exciting on the football field and continues to rack up the yards. As with Brian, this week I am moving Troy Smith up ahead of Adrian Peterson. Peterson had a decent game, but nothing that was inspiring. I always like to have a dark horse in my #5 spot, and this week I am putting Mario Manningham there. He has just been sick this season, already catching 9 touchdown passes. It is ashame that he will be out for a few weeks, but if he has a big enough game against Ohio State, watch out, he just might have a chance to win this thing.
