Gerhart looked phenomenal this weekend.

Sadly, I think you're right. It's too bad, the Heisman isn't supposed to be tied to records and bowl games and team hype and all that. As much as I love my Ducks, I have to say that Gerhart has emerged as the premier athlete in PAC-10 football and should be at the top of the Heisman voting. Maybe he'll run for 500 yards against the Irish and get his shot!

205 yards and three touchdowns, plus a thirty three yard reception. If this kid doesn't get the Heisman, there is no justice in the world.

By the way, how incredible is it that this guy is simultaneously chewing up the football field and taking twenty one credits, including college calculus, and will graduate next month? Amazing young man. Hope he enjoys a long and successful pro career.

You forgot to mention Gerhart's touchdown pass. What a riveting performance. The amazing thing was how effective the play-action fakes to Gerhart were. Notre Dame was clearly committed to stopping Gerhart and he still ran them ragged.

But, I don't think I found him remotely likeable until this stupid article. WTG.

Duh, I totally did, didn't I? :eek: Yeah, that was pretty awesome. Not only did he make the completion, but it was actually a rather decent pass.

I'm still amazed at his performance. Sadly, the pundits are already downplaying it (easy to run it up against Dame's defense, etc) in what can only be a preemptive strike to pave the way for giving the Heisman to Tebow Christ again. Blah. (I can't wait for the Pigskin Messiah to graduate into NFL obscurity) I say Gerhart or nothing!

Vote for Toby in the ESPN poll!

Seriously, does anyone really believe that Tebow's going to get the Heisman?

My money's on McCoy.

Did McCoy play himself out of contention with that clock management bungle (along with the 59:59 of ineffective play that preceded it)?
