Steven A Moderator No. 1 Share Posted December 14 Good article. Of course, this also happened in the Pac. Apparently, Oregon Went Undefeated and Won a Big Ten Title with Smoke and Mirrors - Athlon Sports 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Moderator No. 2 Share Posted December 14 Fantastic article! Oregon has the best record, but Lanning isn't the best coach, they have players, but the only post season awards are the Bullsworth for Boettcher and just recently, the Silver Football Award to Gabriel. They beat osu2 without their best defensive player, the star WR, got 2nd team in the B1G, they couldn't score 40! How'd they, do it? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyToBeADuck No. 3 Share Posted December 14 That was a fantastic article, well worth the short read. The article will confuse many who are not part of this Forum because it makes sense and is not flashy. The Heisman is a hype award not a value prestige award. Jenty is more valuable and the best player in college football. He has elevated the Broncos above their payscale. Hunter is a great player but has not elevated his team to the CFP. As for DG. OBD's would not be 13-0 without his Heisman moments. How many times in the first 6 games did the line breakdown and DG made an escape move to complete a first down, a big gain or TD? His 4th and 9 bullet completion against PSU was the Heisman moment. DG does and has elevated his team to #1. The hype award will pick the hype player coached by the hype machine coach. Ask yourself which team, led by their best player has created the most meaningful season? It wasn't Colorado...... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
