Heisman


Recommended Posts

 Henry is getting the attention because of the SEC.

Henry finished 2nd in the country in rushing yards and first in rushing Td's with 15 more than McCaffrey.  Please explain to me how he is only getting attention because of the SEC.....

 

 

The kid from Lamar actually led the country in rushing with 2092 yards in 11 games.  He finished with 106 more yards than Henry in 2 less games.  Great season for the young man.

Harrington should have gotten some mention similar to McNair back at Alcorn. As for Henry I did not know he finished 2nd. I purposely do not watch Alabama football. With those stats then I can understand and he should be there. I thought he was at maybe 1400 with 10 tds.

C McCaffrey

D Henry

To me, the stats are not even close. McCaffrey is as good a runner, but adds receiving and special teams yards. 268 All Purpose Yards per Game. Good Gawd!

Kick returns are an easy way to pile up yards.  The players that lead that category usually play for bad teams with terrible defenses.  You don't see many running backs doing the returning mainly because of the beating they take the entire game. 

 

McCaffrey's problem is that half of the country hasn't seen him play much.  Those west coast games that end at 2am eastern are tough.

i know right. He's as good as Reggie Bush IMO. 

A question was asked today:

How would Henry do if he played for Stanford?

How would McCafferty do if he played for Alabama?

IMO McCafferty could play anywhere, in any offense.  Not so sure how Henry would do with Stanford's oline.

I saw Henry in several games but only saw McCafferty in one - but you look at the stats and I say that McCafferty should win - but from what I am reading Henry is the odds on favorite.

This is were the SEC reputation - real or imagined - is perhaps giving an unfair advantage to one player over another.

How has any previous Bama running back fared in new offenses at the next level?

 

Thats all the answer I need to that question.

C'mon guys, your anti-Bama bias is showing! Yeldon did well intil he got hurt. Lacy was doing great until he missed curfew. The only real bust here is Richardson. 

Derrick Henry would be a success on any team, as well as McCafferty. Both of these guys play hard. I can't honestly knock either player at all. I still think the Heisman is A QB award, but we will find out soon enough.

I keep forgetting about Lacy, one more burger and he will be a defensive tackle

    • I like option number two, PNG and Nederland both win. Nederland i’ll be the district champion, number 1 seed or whatever you want to call it. Yes I know that if two or three teams tie with the same record, they will be called co-champions and everyone gets a trophy. One team however will go in as the first place team in district and will play the fourth place team in the bi-district round. If PNG and Nederland both win, Nederland will be #1.

    • Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So the premise that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake bychecking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. Then let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots cast in the election. One candidate then wins the election by only 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed and that they are American citizens. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
