I agree with that. If Denard was only a tailback he would be in the mix based on the number of yards he has rushing. There are plenty of other guys playing the same cupcake teams and they don't pile up yards like Denard does. If he can still produce against the better teams, and I don't even think he has to beat them all or have video game numbers he just need to have a good game, then I think he has to at least be in the heisman conversation.
I agree with that too. The heisman is currently a popularity contest that goes to the best running back, quarter back or occasionally a receiver. But how can stats play a bigger role and go to somebody (lineman or linebackers) who rarely scores?
My whole stats argument is basically just to show how bad the Heisman voting is. One week there is a clear front runner and there team looses and now they got no shot? What garbage. The best player on the best team or whomever is rated number one does not make you the best player in the country. To count Pryor out and Denard out and to give the clear cut edge to Cam Newton is complete crap. Just because your team is rated high does not make you the best player in the country. Denard has better numbers in comparison to Cameron Newton (both similar style QB's) and If Michigan was unbeaten, Denard would be the clear cut favorite. That is just plain dumb IMO.
