Title: "Where the Heisman race stands" Post by: Chechem on November 24, 2013, 05:47:40 AM http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/11/24/where-the-heisman-race-stands/
Quote AJ McCarron of Alabama seems to be the safest candidate. After all, he’s the quarterback for the No. 1 team and a well-known and proven commodity. But to win he’ll have to overcome his relatively lackluster production and the perception that he’s not really the engine that drives Alabama’s success. Big games in his remaining matchups against Auburn and in the SEC title game could help him change that perception just enough to tilt the race in his direction. I have a feeling that, while he’s likely to appear on a lot of ballots, he’ll need to finish strong in his home region (the South) to have a shot at winning. That means putting distance between himself and Winston and Manziel — a tall order indeed. :popcorn2: Title: Re: "Where the Heisman race stands" Post by: bamaphil on November 24, 2013, 06:10:04 AM I'm biased of course, but I don't understand how anyone could vote for Manziel or Winston over AJ at this point, assuming Bama wins the final two games and AJ performs well. Maznziel already has one and hasn't exactly shown himself to deserve another on or off the field. Winston is just a freshman and the cloud currently hanging over his head I'd have to hold off on awarding him a vote this year. That leaves McCarron, only one of the winningest, most productive QBs in NCAA history. How could you vote for anyone else?

Looks like with Oregon losing their 2nd game, and badly, that Mariota is out. Then you have Baylor's Bryce Petty who got curb-stomped last night, and finally, Johnny Manziel, who was taken to the woodshed yesterday in losing his 3rd game.
If Bama wins their next 2, there's a good chance that AJ could win the Heisman by attrition. Title: Re: "Where the Heisman race stands" Post by: pmull on November 24, 2013, 07:35:47 AM Cade Foster makes a good point.
Quote Cade Foster @Foster_43 @KirkHerbstreit not too many heisman candidates are willing to hold field goals to help team..@10AJMcCarron is a TEAM player Title: Re: "Where the Heisman race stands" Post by: pmull on November 24, 2013, 08:04:36 AM I read this comment on another board.
Quote Jameis "DNA in the Panties" Winston. I don't know if he will even be charged but a voter would have to hold his nose to vote for this guy now.

HERE HERE ! there will be a proclamation ! from here on out the Winston kid will be know as "DNA in the Panties" until the end of time or next Sunday which ever comes first ...

I will be highly disappointed if it isn't AJ!
Title: Re: "Where the Heisman race stands" Post by: XBAMA on November 24, 2013, 08:58:51 AM I'll be surprised if AJ does win it :dunno:
these voters don't care :wall: they proved it with the 2010 recipient :facepalm: Title: Re: "Where the Heisman race stands" Post by: Jamos on November 24, 2013, 09:11:41 AM I noticed a change of heart from a lot of the analysts this morning on different talk shows and I think McCarron has made up a lot of ground. Right now it seems to be betweem McCarron and Winston with Winston walking on thin ice. The sports analysts seem to have the same opinion as all of us on the forum do concerning the TPD and how the Winston case has been handle. They also sense there's a very good chance of his guilt.
Title: Re: "Where the Heisman race stands" Post by: 2Stater on November 24, 2013, 09:17:17 AM It would be great to see AJ get the Heisman, but I would sure settle for the team to win another NC. I bet AJ would say the same thing. :D

I sure hope so but as it goes there has only been one or two players with more Heisman Trophy votes than CN got in 2010 ... we will see Title: Re: "Where the Heisman race stands" Post by: KoKoPuf on November 24, 2013, 09:35:53 AM AJ has to have a big game against the Barn and Bama has to win. If both happen I think he wins.
Title: Re: "Where the Heisman race stands" Post by: Merk on November 24, 2013, 09:41:06 AM I think that if AJ wins both games decisively, he does have a real shot at the award. Winston is tainted until his he issue is resolved. Look for Braxton Miller to start getting some Heisman love too. This may come down to Miller and AJ. :popcorn2:

AJ would win hands down, but the past players we have seen who cheat, makes it kind of hard for player AJ. Win or not, He has proved himself a man of team and integrity. RTR!
