Killing his Heisman hopes

[craigsker]

A lot of talk about Jake Locker being a heisman candidate. Will we be the team that kills off his heisman hopes? Sound off huskernation.

Maybe we should focus on winning the game as opposed to knocking someone out of the heisman race!

 

[HuskerJosh]

They're already on life support after losing to BYU.

I concur totally...This was merely intended to be a "side story" to the game. I didn't mean to take anything away from priority one..win the game.

Pretty certain that he's going to be off the radar for a long while after this game...a late season surge is always possible, but I expect his stats to be lousy and the Huskies to come out with a 'L.' If one of those two doesn't happen, he could stay in the hunt.

Players winning the Heisman typically play for really good teams. Unless Washington wins the Pac-10, I don't see Locker as having much of a chance at winning the award regardless of how he performs tomorrow.

Geez Dead Beat...I mean Dead Red, easy goes it there. Just a guess, but our boys ARE focused on winning and as a result of that, they will put the hurt on Locker and knock him out of the Heisman race 'cause that's how our Blackshirts roll (see McCoy, Colt).

Unless he goes absolutely bananas tomorrow then I think he is done. The lose to BYU really hurt him.

When I saw the thread title, all I could think of was the song "Killing me softley," except it would be "Killing his Heisman with our D."

I'm pretty sure winning the game and knocking someone out of the heisman race go hand in hand

kill his heisman and allow our defense to get some good pub

What heisman hopes? Am I missing something here? Did washington make it to a bowl game last year? How many games have they won these past 2 years?

 

[Dead Red]

Locker was on the preseason Heisman and O'Brien lists, so I would say those are legitimate hopes.

You can heisman hope all you want but if your team can't even make it to a bowl game then how are you going to win the heisman? The thing that sucks for washington is that they have to go play @USC right after we give them the beat down.
