Count 'Bility Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Manziel really didnt do anything wrong. He just happened to let his immaturity mix with exploding popularity and made some bad decisions. He acted the way i would prefer a Heisman winner not act. Winston on the other hand is just a flat out idiot. Theres no hope for that guy. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Paul Myerberg @PaulMyerberg 1h1 hour ago Neb RB Ameer Abdullah moves into 2nd place on my Heisman "ballot," behind only Mariota: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2014/10/01/heisman-trophy-watch-marcus-mariota-todd-gurley-ameer-abdullah/16480255/ … 2. RB Ameer Abdullah, Nebraska (Last week's ranking: No. 4) Abdullah probably won't leapfrog Mariota, but a win Saturday against Michigan State would virtually assure the senior of a permanent spot as a Heisman finalist. He's been everything for Nebraska, which leans heavily on Abdullah's game-breaking ability as the centerpiece of coordinator Tim Beck's explosive offense. He's delivered: Abdullah has been the nation's most prolific skill player. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan333157 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Averaging 8.8 ypc is impressive considering sanders averaged 7.8 in his record year. I hate to say it but I'm giving Gurley the edge so far... Quote Link to comment

But, he's not the "most outstanding player" in college football? Hmmmmm..... What's the difference? Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 In case anyone is wondering, AA is leading the voting Mavric is talking about. Until the bots come in. Quote Link to comment

QMany Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Heisman Watch: It’s Ameer-acle! The Front-runner: Ameer Abdullah, RB, Nebraska If it feels like an astonishing new Abdullah highlight reel drops every week, that’s because it does. At one point, playing running back at Nebraska was a shortcut to Heisman consideration. Apparently, this is no longer the case, as evidenced by Abdullah being far from a clear-cut favorite. While some of the arguments leveled against him are fair — yes, Todd Gurley could probably rush for 500 yards on McNeese State, something Abdullah failed to do — he’ll have the chance to silence any and all remaining doubters/critics/agnostics/etc. at no. 10 Michigan State this weekend. If Abdullah can tear it up against Pat Narduzzi’s stingy defense, he’ll deserve to be the Heisman’s one true front-runner. If he doesn’t, then we can return our focus to Melvin Gordon, as there’s room for only one red-and-white-wearing Big Ten running back in this conversation. http://grantland.com/the-triangle/heisman-watch-ameer-abdullah-nebraska/ Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 So I just voted again and AA is still the leader. I don't know if my vote was counted, though because after I submitted the vote, it said I voted for undefined. Happened yesterday too. SEC conspiracy... Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 College GameDay @CollegeGameDay 28m28 minutes ago Ameer Abdullah has gained at least 10 yds on 25% of his carries and leads the nation with 29 rushes of 10-plus yards. Quote Link to comment
Kernal Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Marcus Mariota, instead of leading Oregon on a game tying/winning drive, just fumbled away the game to Arizona. That can't help his cause. And with Mariota being the prohibitive favorite prior to tonight, it can only help Ameer. Still a lot of football left to be played this year. Hopefully Abdullah continues to have great games and the Huskers keep winning. P.S. The camera was panning the Oregon sideline when the loss became inevitable, and just wow! When you're Oregon and you lose, you're just a bunch of fat guys in pink and black duck costumes. =D P.P.S. I wonder how Michigan is feeling about canning Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez after only three years and replacing him with Brady Hoke. This is the second year in a row he's beaten Oregon. 3 Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 If we beat Michigan State and Ameer runs wild, I think he jumps to the favorite pick. Quote Link to comment
Kernal Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 If we beat Michigan State and Ameer runs wild, I think he jumps to the favorite pick. Agree. Nebraska needs to win some big games for Ameer to have a real shot at the Heisman, and @MSU is one of them. I'd say Ameer is the favorite as of Friday, but that can change on Saturday.

Count 'Bility Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 If we beat Michigan State and Ameer runs wild, I think he jumps to the favorite pick. exactly. Cuz that's what the Heisman race is all about. it's generally a flavor the week discussion. Ameer's and the Oline are on deck folks. Quote Link to comment
