Suh should win the Heismann



What you saw last night was an example of how dominant he's been all year.

    I agree. He dominated the whole game and kept Neb. in it! McCoy sacked 8 times and Suh had 4.5 himself..manhandled him like a ragdoll and wreaked havok on the offense the entire game! He should at least be on the list of candidates. Too bad Tex. wins on an instant replay after time runs out, which acording to the rule book isn't even a reviewable call!

    I think that he has a better chance than Ingram. There is no way that the national sportswriters vote for a player from Alabama unless they play for Auburn.

    I predict that Ingram finishes in third place behind Mccoy and Spiller, Suh comes in fifth behind Tebow

    Suh will be a winner in the NFL draft, regardless of what the Heisman voters think
  • I think non SEC fans may not know that no one from Bama has ever won the Heismann, yet I think
    Auburn has had Bo Jackson and Pat Sullivan win it. Pat Sullivan, and no Joe Namath or Ken Stabler ???


    Edited to add Bart Starr as well.

    ???????? Are you serious? Did I miss some hidden humor in your post? Do you really think there is a bias against players from Alabama? If so, why? Where is the evidence?

    Starr was not even a regular as a senior, and was a 17th round draft pick. Namath was a fine college player, but did not finish in the top ten in the voting. Huarte won, but Butkus should have. Stabler never finished in the top ten, plus he played at the same time as O.J.

    One does not have to look real hard to find any bias toward good ole Bama. 1966 Alabama was the ONLY undefeated team in America and they came in THIRD behind N.D. & Mich, both 9-0-1.

    They were the only undefeated team and Alabama was the two defending national champion at the time. Champs 64 & 65

    It took two miracle losses in 92 for Bama to even get a chance and then we were the largest underdog history of college football in a 1 vs 2 contest -13, will never forget that easy line.

    12 national championships (about to be 13, 14)
    Were beating Texas and running the table next year!

    0 Heismans. Heisman's usually reflect a championship year as well as individual talent.

    Not real hard to see here, except for those not looking.

    We will get a Heisman in three when Trent Richardson is a senior, if he stays.

    Specifically which Alabama player should have won the Heisman (in your opinion), but did not? How many Heisman winners played for the national champions? I have no idea. I am nearly 60 years old, have lived in Alabama virtually my entire life, but have no knowledge of any Alabama player being cheated out of the Heisman.

    The 66 national title is another story. Maybe that makes up for the strange claim Bama has on the National Championship in 73, and that absolutely bizarre claim in 1941. They lost two games, did not win the conference, and were were ranked 20th in the AP. UPI did not rank teams until 1950. I do not know why they claim the title that year.
