Eric the Red Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 First off, who goes to New York and then who do you choose for the Heisman? Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 The four for New York as: White Peterson Bush Leinhart I have Reggie Bush winning it because he can do a milion things with te football. Catch, run, speed, return, power, cutting ability. Best player in college football. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 As much as I hate to vote for a Bush, I have to give it up to Reggie. The guy is just hands down the best athlete and play-maker in the country. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I am in agreement with you Eric on the 4 going to NYC. However, I think Jason White will win it again. Bush is the best athlete in the country, but he will be hurt by the fact he is a Sophomore. Peterson is awesome, but is a freshman and that hurts him. Leinart is going to lose votes on the west because he will split them with Alex Smith, Reggie Bush and Aaron Rodgers. There are no real competitors for Jason White in the midwest and south except for Peterson and most voters will vote for the senior over the frosh. Definitely a fun race to watch this season though!

Blackshirt Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 You make some good points DJ, but I think the voters are still a little bent about Whites flame job at the end of last year - even though he was hurt - the media is fickle, and doesnt like to feel dumb. Although Whites numbers are better, and Leinhart didnt do much vs. UCLA, I still see it going to ML over JW and Bush/AP based on the reasons you mentioned above. Quote Link to comment
Fanatic Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I voted for Peterson mainly because I want him to get it. I'd like to see it go to a big XII player and I don't want White to get it a second year in a row. My vote goes to lucky in 2007!!!! Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 My vote goes for Bush. 300 totals yards and a couple of touchdowns on the last game of the year on national television should impress quite a few voters. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 I don't agree with Alex Smith getting it. He has similar passing stats to White and better rushing but simply doesn't play the same high competition. Reggie Bush made a strong push in the end with that game against UCLA.

HuskerBob Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 bush shud win prolly wont tho. ced benson shud be there but isnt. leinhart shouldnt win but will. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Well I think Bob pretty much nailed it. Was a pretty close race for 2nd. I was surprised that Bush slipped to 5th.

Eric the Red Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 I didn't think White would drop to three. Most likely because he won it last year. Which isn't fair to him. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I was kind of surprised to see Leinart win by the margin that he did. I figured it would be a little closer with two sets of teammates in the top five representing two undefeated teams. Quote Link to comment
