Can Suh be the first primarily defensive player to win it since Woodson?

He deserves it over any other finalist.

Best collegiate lineman I've **ever** seen, including Orlando Pace and Danny Noonan. Absolutely stunning playmaker against Texas.

But, sigh, one of the QBs is going to win.

Both QB’s are trailing badly in known votes. Suh currently leads them but Gerhart is projected to win.

With all deference to LeeRoy Selmon, the absolute best performance I can ever recall by a defensive lineman was this guy against *my* team this year.

He gets my vote, followed by Ingram. After that I'm not sure; I haven't seen enough of the RB at Stanford to know for sure.

But if I had a vote it would go to Suh. I hope he gets it.

As a Kansas Fan I would give him the award. Su is a one man wrecking crew. Nobody can stop this guy!

I hope KC Chief’s draft this guy as he is top five pick.

Suh can thank Kirk Herbstreit for the props on Saturday night.

It’s just like Obama. A lineman getting the Heisman is a STORY; just like a black man winning the presidency is a STORY.

Pure B.S. -— just like all of contemporary American life.

Wow, you don’t know what you are even talking about. He has been a heisman candidate all year long living just on the edge. Simply their just isn’t an impressive offensive candidate. The running back stats are pedestrian and the QB’s have stunk it up. But keep think whatever is ticking in your mind, the votes are already in so if he wins to bad for you.

If they wanted to name probably the best player in college football then a case can be made for Suh. But the Heisman has been an offensive player award for some time and I doubt that will change.

At the rate we're going we'll have a good chance. But I don't see Suh making past two or three and I don't know if we'll draft that low. On the other hand, if the Chiefs have the second or third pick then I could see them trade it for draft choices. They need so much help in so many places.

True but the award doesn’t say for the most outstanding offensive player, the media itself simply likes offense and they are the ones who vote. Simply getting invited to the award ceremony is a statement on its own.

I really believe that Case Keenum of Houston should have been a finalist for the Heisman Trophy too.

Tad Stryker writes at Huskerpedia:

Suh finished with a Big 12 Championship game-record 4½ sacks. He made 12 tackles, including seven for losses. He owned the field, and he made Texas’s drive for the national title seem like a subplot. . . .

Suh made the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year look like a high school quarterback at times and tossed Longhorns around like so many little kids. He disrupted McCoy on nearly every play and humbled the Texas offensive line. The Blackshirts had nine sacks, 18 tackles for loss and forced a ton of three-and-outs against a team that will be playing for the national championship in January.
