Darren McFadden's 2007 Accomplishments:

• Doak Walker Award Winner (Repeated, College Football Running Back of Year)
• Walter Camp Award Winner (College Football Player of the Year)
• SEC Offensive Player of the Year (Coaches, Repeated)
• All- SEC First Team
• Sporting News Player of the Year
• Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week
• Maxwell Award Finalist
• First Team All-American;
• SEC Offensive Player of the Week (Twice)

And those were just this season. If I listed previous accomplishments, it'd literally print you off about four single-spaced pages.

Records set in 2007:

• Single-season school record (broke his own);
• All-time career leader in rushing at UA;
• Third on all-time SEC rushing list;
• Tied SEC single-game rushing record with 323 yards.
• Only one of two SEC players in history to rush for over 1,000 yards freshman, sophomore, and junior seasons;
• Nine out of twelve 100 yards or more rushing games, UA record;
• UA record in all purpose yardage in game (three times);
• UA record for total yardage in season;
• 166 yards away from breaking SEC Single-Season Rushing Record (currently 4th);
• SEC Career Leader in Single-Season All-Purpose Yardage;

2007 Statistics:

• Rushing: 304 carries, 1725 yards (1st)
• Rushing Average: 5.7 yards (2nd)
• Rushing Touchdowns: 15 (1st)
• Rushing Long: 80 (T-1st)
• Yards Per Game: 143.8 (1st)

• All Purpose Yardage: 181.0 (1st)

• Passing Efficiency: 268.47
• Completion Rate: 54.5
• Scoring (Pass TD's): 4

• All Touchdowns: 20


All without a system helping him do it, no quarterback, little defense, and a total idiot for a playcaller and head coach, but still near single-handedly beat #1 LSU by himself. That same LSU that will roll Ohio State in NOLA after the new year.

Tim Tebow? Pulllleeezzzzz. Any mobile QB could put up good stats in that system. Alex Smith did well in that offense. Maybe they should've given him the Heisman in 2004, right?

If Darren McFadden does not get the Heisman, they should stop giving it out. No other player this year is more deserving.
