BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I'm going to just enjoy the next 4 games guys, truly a remarkable athlete and young man. Thank god he's a Husker! Quote Link to comment
ithinkiloverg44 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 This is not a knock on Rex, but we were blown away by Rex's talents and abilities and said similar things. Ameer is beyond special, one of the all-time greats to put on the scarlet and cream. Rex was a wonderful Husker and person off the field, Ameer is a great guy off the field, but the superior running back and I, personally, will enjoy these last few games. He is a great one, we are lucky that he has represented the university the way he has, other schools don't have the luxury of their best player also being the best human being. So in short, give the man his trophy. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Dan Hoppen @danhoppen now38 seconds ago Ameer Abdullah leads the nation with 1,690 all-purpose yards, 358 more than the next closest player. #Huskers 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Considering we have some tougher opponents down the stretch, his averages of 156 rushing yards and 211 all-purpose yards are likely to go down somewhat. But he's currently on pace for 1,873 rushing yards 2,535 through the end of the regular season (no CCG or Bowl). I think he's going to get invited to the ceremony anyway but if he gets close to 2000 yards rushing and 2500 all-purpose yards, he'll make a run at the trophy. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I think they'll only invite one RB. Obviously, Gurley is out. I think the decision between AA and Gordon is based off of their performances on November 15th in Madison. It should be a showdown. Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I think they'll only invite one RB. Obviously, Gurley is out. I think the decision between AA and Gordon is based off of their performances on November 15th in Madison. It should be a showdown. I don't think Gordon has a chance because Wisconsin just isn't a good football team. It's different if you're a 3-4 loss Baylor or Florida team where you're still good and your Heisman winner has transcendent talent, but Wisconsin is just average across the board. We need to keep winning for Ameer to make it, as well. Quote Link to comment
Kernal Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 ESPN CollegeFootball @ESPNCFB 10m10 minutes ago ESPN Week 10 Heisman Rankings Can Marcus Mariota catch Dak Prescott? Dak Prescott is only on the list because he's the QB on a highly ranked SEC team. He's good, but he's not that good. His last two games he's thrown for closer to 54% with two TDs to 3 Ints. Overall, his numbers for 2014 are: Passing: 60.3% - 1694 Yds. - 8.96 YPA - 15 TDs - 5 ints Rushing: 124 Carries - 664 Yds. - 5.4 Avg. - 10 TDs To compare, here are Tommy Armstrong's numbers this year: Passing: 54.5% - 1709 Yds - 8.18 YPA - 12 Tds - 6 ints Rushing: 77 Carries - 501 Yds. - 6.5 Avg. - 3 TDs Tommy Armstrong is a good QB too, but he's not a Heisman candidate either. ----------------------------------- I'm going to the game again Saturday so I expect Mr. Abdullah to have another outstanding game. 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I don't know about you guys, but I'm wondering if the Heisman deserves Ameer. It's a tarnished trophy. I've been thinking about this for a while. It's still the pinnacle award in college football, but several of the past winners have been more than lacking, in my opinion. And it does NOT go to the best player in college football, despite its stated description. Quote Link to comment
