well it is nearly 4 hours after the game :)
I was damn near useless for much of the first two hours of that :)
Troy Smith cemented the Heisman today. Colt McCoy does NOT deserve the Heisman, but it is amazing how similar their numbers are (and why Colt should be one of the Heisman frontrunners for next year):
RANK - NAME - CMP - ATT - YDS -- CMP% - YDS/A -- TD - INT -- SACKS - RATING
4. Colt McCoy --- 174 - 250 - 2102 ------ 69.6 -- 8.4 ------ 27 - 4 ------ 12 --- 172.67
6. Troy Smith ---- 170 - 256 - 2191 ------ 66.4 -- 8.6 ------ 26 - 4 ------ 12 --- 168.69
Note that Colt did it in 11 games vs. 12 for Troy. And if any Buckeye homer's start blabbing about how OSU had a tougher schedule, look again. The Big Can't Count Conference has 5 of their 11 teams over .500, the Big 12 has 9 of their 12 with winning records. The Big 10 (sic) has a max of 7 teams with a shot at bowl eligibility, the Big 12 has 9 potentially. So relax and take this for what it is, an interesting tidbit that the 2 QB's are so close statistically. Stats don't always tell the entire story.
But stats do make a compelling case why Hawaii's Colt Brennan should be invited to New York for the Heisman ceremony (invited, not win):
1. Colt Brennan -- 275 -380 - 3753 ------ 72.4 -- 9.9 ------ 43 - 7 ------ 13 --- 188.98
Brady Quinn has moved up, but still is only the 13th-rated passer. He has no business being invited to New York, but is going for one reason and one reason only: He plays for Notre Dame. What a steaming crock of ____.
