DanLduck No. 2 Share Posted December 7 Whether Dillon wins the Heisman or is even invited to NY, he is the biggest reason we are 12 - 0. His leadership and ability to remain calm and come up so big on big downs has been key. I was slow to warm up to DG, but he has won me over big time. I'm glad he came to Oregon. I'm hoping and he has his best game tomorrow. Let's go defense. Get some 'Nitt'pick 6's. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree, "Heisman moments" all season long. Charles's analysis showed why I favor QB's in the Heisman race. He has been calm and come up big, and every play he has to make decisions in fractions of seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike West No. 4 Share Posted December 7 Although I really appreciate the impact DG has had this year, it is hard to argue against a two way Star. Travis Hunter is killing it, on both sides of the ball. Like his coach did at FSU. Having a major impact on both offense and defense in modern football is deserving of Heisman of the Quarter Century. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big of an impact? Take DG off the field, is Oregon undefeated, No.1? With Hunter on the field, Colorado isn't even in their CCG. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSU plays a lot of man D counting on a good D line to pressure the QB. It will be interesting to see how often former Indiana HC and current PSU DC, Tom Allen, brings pressure. Will Howard did not play well vs. PSU. I was surprised that Chip, like he did vs. Michigan, went away from the passing game so early in Happy Valley. Will Stein, like Chip, has quality WRs. And Will has a better QB. I expect Will will exploit the advantage at WR and DG's quick release and the average PSU DBs will suffer if Allen blitzes too often. PLASTER PsU! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
