Blog Hawgs Heisman 5 + 1–Week 11

Posted by Adam Butler on November 13, 2012

Special to Blog Hawgs by Kris Boyd

Collin Klein placed himself back atop the 5+1, but Johnny Manziel closed the gap with a very impressive win.  Colby Cameron continued to wave his arms while screaming “Look at me!  Somebody look at me!”.  Marqise Lee is putting up Tim Brown numbers, but not Tim Brown wins.

1. Collin Klein, QB, Kansas State  (2,020 yards passing, 69.7%, 12 TD’s, 3 INT’s; 748 yards rushing,  4.9 ypc, 19 TD’s)  Klein didn’t put up outstanding stats but once again led Kansas State to another high-profile win and, more importantly, to the #1 spot in the polls.

2. Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M (2,780 yards passing, 67.6%, 18 TD’s, 6 INT’s; 1,014 yards rushing, 6.5 ypc, 15 TD’s)  Johnny Trademark did what nobody outside of College Station thought he could do–make an Alabama defense look pedestrian.

3. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon  (1,360 yards rushing, 6.8 ypc, 19 TD’s; 220 yards receiving, 1 TD)  Barner’s playing time against Cal was shortened due to injury, but he was only averaging a little over 3 yards per carry prior to that.

4. Colby Cameron, QB, Louisiana Tech  (3,283 yards passing, 71.0%, 27 TD’s, 0 INT’s; 142 yards rushing, 3 TD’s)  Colby continued to win and continued to put up great numbers.  And, while I’m not trying to say La Tech is playing a SEC schedule, La Tech has played Illinois, Virginia and Texas A&M.

5. Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson (2,941 yards passing, 68.0%, 28 TD’s, 9 INT’s; 310 yards rushing, 1 TD’s)  Tajh continued his efficient ways in another blowout win.  Tajh is wanting his invitation to New York.

+1. Marqise Lee, WR, USC (1,447 receiving yards, 98 receptions, 14.8 ypr, 13 TD’s; 110 yards rushing, 11.0 ypc; 23 kickoff returns, 677 yards, 29.4 ypr, 1 TD)

BlogHawgs Heisman 5+1 Week 10

Posted by Brett Kincaid on November 8, 2012

Admit it.  You thought you were going to see Jordan Lynch on here didn’t you.  I’m terribly sorry to disappoint.  Terribly sorry.  Wait.  What?  Who’s Jordan Lynch?  Take a minute and look at his numbers.  Go ahead.  I’ll wait.  See!  I told you.  They are 9-0 and dude has 3,500 yards of total offense with 34 total touchdowns.  Not impressed?  Ok.  I digress.

 

The +1 unveiled a new #1 this week.  It’s not that we are punishing Optimus for his injury or that he did anything to drop.  But did you watch Kenjon Barner absolutely make USC look like one of those Pop Warner teams that Snoop Lion coaches against?

That’s one of the most dominant performances I’ve ever seen against a solid team.  That goes up there with Herschel and Bo and Cam.

Also, can everyone please jump off the A.J. McCarron for Heisman bandwagon?  Yes, he’s a great leader and facilitator.  We get that.  But how is A.J. anymore of a great facilitator than Marcus Mariota?  Also, the +1 loves Mantei Te’O, but is he even the best defensive player in the country?  Shouldn’t your stats be EYE-POPPING as a defensive player?

 

1. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon  (1,295 yards rushing, 67.2 ypc, 19 TD’s; 185 yards receiving, 1 TD)  321 and 5.

2. Collin Klein, QB, Kansas State  (1,875 yards passing, 71.1%, 12 TD’s, 2 INT’s; 698 yards rushing,  5.0 ypc, 17 TD’s)  Optimus put up almost 300 yards total offense despite not playing the whole game.  The +1 is wishing Collin a speedy recovery.

3. Colby Cameron, QB, Louisiana Tech  (2,946 yards passing, 71.2%, 24 TD’s, 0 INT’s; 137 yards rushing, 2 TD’s)  Remember, you saw him here first.

4. Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson (2,680 yards passing, 67.8%, 25 TD’s, 9 INT’s; 297 yards rushing, 1 TD’s)  Tajh threw three interceptions which put a blemish on an otherwise another outstanding game.

5. Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M (2,527 yards passing, 66.6%, 16 TD’s, 6 INT’s; 922 yards rushing, 6.7 ypc, 16 TD’s)  Johnny “We’re not mentioning his extremely overused nickname” dropped dang near 500 yards on what was supposed to be a really good Mississippi State defense.

+1. Marqise Lee, WR, USC (1,286 receiving yards, 88 receptions, 14.6 ypr, 12 TD’s; 23 kickoff returns, 677 yards, 29.4 ypr, 1 TD)

Blog Hawgs Heisman 5+1–10/30/12

Posted by Adam Butler on October 30, 2012

Special to BlogHawgs by Kris M. Boyd

Collin Klein continued his dominance last week and Kenjon Barner established himself as the clear #2 on the Heisman 5+1.  Just remember where you saw Colby Cameron first when all the national Heisman pundits start jumping on his bandwagon in a few weeks!  Matt Scott hopped back on the list with an impressive win and Tajh Boyd finally made the cut.

1. Collin Klein, QB, Kansas State  (1,630 yards passing, 70.9%, 12 TD’s, 2 INT’s; 634 yards rushing,  5.2 ypc, 16 TD’s)  Optimus Klein keeps chewing up other Heisman candidates like the Devastator.  Who’s next?

2. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon  (974 yards rushing, 6.9 ypc, 14 TD’s; 159 yards receiving, 1 TD)  Barner is the best running back in the country.  Imagine what his stats would look like if Oregon played any close games and he could play second halves.

3. Colby Cameron, QB, Louisiana Tech  (2,598 yards passing, 70.5%, 21 TD’s, 0 INT’s; 110 yards rushing, 2 TD’s)  Colby keeps winning.  That’s the important part.  The stats will come in that offense. Cameron deserves an invite to the Heisman ceremony if Louisiana Tech goes 11-1 (or even 10-2).

4. Matt Scott, QB, Arizona (2,724 yards passing, 62.9%, 20 TD’s, 9 INT’s; 291 yards rushing, 4.4 ypc, 4 TD’s)  Scott dropped almost 500 yards of total offense on USC and placed himself back on the 5+1.  Arizona has 3 losses, but all 3 were to teams ranked in the top 15.

5. Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson (2,336 yards passing, 67.7%, 20 TD’s, 6 INT’s; 219 yards rushing, 4 TD’s)  Hello, Tajh!  Where have you been all year?  This is what Clemson fans, and quite frankly, the 5+1 was expecting coming into the season.

+1. Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M (2,216 yards passing, 64.3%, 16 TD’s, 6 INT’s; 793 yards rushing, 6.8 ypc, 13 TD’s)

BlogHawgs Heisman 5+1–10/23/12

Posted by Adam Butler on October 23, 2012

Special to Blog Hawgs from Kris M. Boyd

I can already feel the e-mails and comments coming.  “Where did Beau Blakenship go?  You can’t punish him just because he was off this past week!”  To you tens of Beau Blakenship fans out there… I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of Beau Blakenship.  You can’t stop Beau Blakenship, you can only hope to contain him.

Wasn’t there supposed to be an epic battle between two Heisman frontrunners this week?  Did Geno Smith miss the bus?  It looks like those NFL teams who have adopted the “Torpedo for Geno” losing campaign may want to rethink that. (My personal favorite: “Petrino for Geno”)

The +1 also wanted to give a quick acknowledgement to Stefphon “No Typo” Jefferson.  Stefphon is averaging 156 rushing yards per game and needs to average 150.4 yards in his remaining games to hit 2,000.

1. Collin Klein, QB, Kansas State  (1,397 yards passing, 70.5%, 10 TD’s, 2 INT’s; 551 yards rushing,  5.0 ypc, 14 TD’s)  Optimus Klein Transformed the 5+1 and completely obliterated (an awful) West Virginia defense to solidify himself atop the Heisman mountain.

2. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon  (870 yards rushing, 6.6 ypc, 12 TD’s; 112 yards receiving, 1 TD)  Kenjon could have rushed for 400 yards if Oregon Head Coach Chip Kelly had turned him loose all game instead of just the first quarter.

3. Seth Doege, QB, Texas Tech  (2,209 yards passing, 70.8%, 28 TD’s, 7 INT’s)  Seth has thrown for 817 yards and 13 TD’s over the past two weeks during wins over West Virginia and TCU.

4. Colby Cameron, QB, Louisiana Tech  (2,306 yards passing, 71.3%, 20 TD’s, 0 INT’s) Colby has one blemish on his record which is a loss to Texas A&M that should have been a win (except for the NCAA replacements refs. Wait….  What?  Those weren’t replacement refs? *shaking head*)

5. Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia  (2,414 yards passing, 74.2%, 26 TD’s, 2 INT’s)  Geno has to start winning again.  Period.

+1. Stefphon Jefferson, RB, Nevada  (1,248 yards rushing, 5.0 ypc, 15 TD’s)

BlogHawgs Heisman 5+1+1–10/2/12

Posted by Adam Butler on October 2, 2012

Special to BlogHawgs by Kris M. Boyd

Ok, maybe the +1 was a little quick to jump on the WVU National Championship bandwagon.

The Mountaineers will not score 70 on everyone (especially BAMA or LSU) but others may be able to score 63 on them.

But hey, I make Heisman picks, not Championship picks.

There is not a lot of movement this week in the BlogHawgs Heisman 5+1 as many schools were “OFF”. They did not have “BYEs”.  I want to stress this as it is impossible for any team to have a “BYE” week during the regular season.  “BYEs” are for tournaments.

1. Geno Smith, QB, WVU  (1,728 yards passing, 83.4%, 20 TDs, 0 INTs)  Geno threw more touchdowns (8) than incompletions (6). That’s absurd.

2. Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia  (1,378 yards passing, 68.5%, 12 TDs, 3 INTs) Murray was good, but not spectacular in a shootout win over Tennessee.  We need to see more from Murray for him to maintain this spot moving forward.

3. E.J. Manuel, QB, Florida State (1,147 passing yards, 73.3 %, 9 TDs, 1 INT; 197 yards rushing, 1 TD) EJ was ho-hum in a win over against a solid South Florida team.  The matchups with Miami, Va Tech and Florida are looming large for Manuel.

4. Collin Klein, QB, Kansas State  (758 yards passing, 70.0%, 5 TDs, 2 INTs; 289 yards rushing, 5 TDs)  “HB” was off this week.  The +1 cannot wait to watch him vs. Geno in a few weeks.

5. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon  (605 yards rushing, 6.3 ypc, 9 TDs; 112 yards receiving, 1 TD)  Yeah, we picked the wrong Oregon RB, BUT… De’Anthony Thomas is so much fun to watch he had to be on here at some point, right?  Right?

+1. Braxton Miller, QB, Ohio State  (993 yards passing, 62.8%, 8 TDs, 3 INTs; 577 yards rushing, 6.4 ypc, 7 TD’s)
