The Real McCoy..... part 1

Heisman Watch – LeSean McCoy

Just when you thought Dave Wannstedt had ruined another football program, LeSean McCoy is there to silence the doubters.

The University of Pittsburgh sophomore tailback, from Bishop McDevitt High School in Harrisburg, rushed for 142 yards and 2 scores, upsetting then #10 University of South Florida in Tampa last Thursday night, and putting Pitt back in the top 25.

After his sensational freshman year, McCoy looks to tear up the Big Least again this year. And he’ll have plenty of opportunities. He made the decision to go to Pitt after attending prep school with fellow University of Miami commit, Graig Cooper, and decided he wanted to be a featured back close to him. He couldn’t have made a better decision. LeSean is tearing up the weaker defenses, has himself in consideration for a Heisman Trophy, and may have the NFL on his mind following this season.

And why not? The talented back has the speed and the moves to make it big.

Some games this week.

I’ll take #1 Oklahoma over #5 Texas in the Red River Shootout

#11 Florida over #4 LSU (Championship game 07' & 08' Champs)

and #22 North Carolina over Notre Dame

Who are your picks??

Heisman Watch... Season of Sam

Heisman Watch – Sam Bradford

The darkhorse became one of the frontrunners, as Knowshon Moreno’s Georgia Bulldogs, Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin’s Florida Gators, and Mark Sanchez’s Southern California Trojans all suffered devastating losses last week, and skyrocketed the very talented Oklahoma Sooners led by Sophomore Sam Bradford to #1 in the polls. 

As a freshman, Bradford put up gaudy passing numbers (3121 yards, 36 TD) and put the Sooners in contention for the national title. 

This year, he wants more.  He’s off to a torrid start (1293 yards, 16 TD in 4 games) and has his team geared up to take on the resurgent Big 12 conference.  Oh yea and your boy has his own , his own website, Facebook group, and even a fan page.... Take that Tebow

His trip to Miami for the BCS title game won’t be easy. Even if they get past Texas, Texas Tech, Kansas, and the rest of their tough schedule, they’ll likely have Missouri waiting for them in the Big 12 Title game. 

If Bradford and the Sooners run the table, they’ll play in the BCS title game, and Bradford should follow in Tim Tebow’s footsteps as the second sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. 

I'll be keeping a close eye on these top games this Saturday. 

Ohio State vs. Wisconsin, USC vs. Oregon, and Florida State vs. Miami.

Season of Sam ??
