In place of the usual Saturday Morning College Football Breakfast Burrito, let us focus on how Colt McCoy wrapped up the Heisman Trophy this week.

Colt McCoy runs in a 65-yard TD, one of his five on Thanksgiving Night (TexasSports.com)

I know Alabama RB Mark Ingram was nicked up yesterday, but Texas QB Colt McCoy took the lead in my two man race for the 2009 Heisman Trophy with his huge five TD performance on Thanksgiving Night.

Toby Gerhart, Tim Tebow and CJ Spiller have created stellar seasons, but to me the combo of 2009 stats and team success now tilts strongly in the main Longhorns favor. And with this season’s race for player of the year as tight as ever, the “body of work” vote has to go to McCoy.

While our Big East expert Vince Mullins visits places that sound too tropical for cold-weather folks to hear….Fantasy College Blitz has brought in their Fly-Over Country correspondent, Daniel Freer, to handle the Big East this week.  Yes, Daniel knows the difference between a grain elevator and a skyscraper.

With Week Five bringing in more Big East conference action, Week Four was a week that saw the conference schools post a respectable 5-2 vs non-conference foes…even more respectable considering four of those games were on the road…including the impressive South Florida 17-7 win at Florida State…engineered by Bulls frosh QB B.J. Daniels (photo, thanks TampaBay.com)…who made the Seminoles regret letting the local Tallahassee product take his college game 200 miles south to Tampa.

And, note, Daniels did not carve a tomahawk on his head. Read the rest of this entry →

Most college football fans and even writers are looking no farther than Colt McCoy, Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow for the 2009 Heisman Trophy. No heated Fox News type arguments on this episode of BlitzRadio as both agree that Colt McCoy is the favorite.

The creator of the 15, er, 10 Heismandments Chris Huston discusses the expected anointing of Texas Colt McCoy as this season’s trophy holder, Sam Bradford leading the best offense of the decade last season and we also kinda talk about that Tebow guy. Despite for our clearly professed man-love and super-high expectations for Houston’s Case Keenum, it is hard to make a case for him as a legit contender.

Houston QB Case Keenum (photo, thanks Sports-Odds) did not get the national recognition that he deserved last season.

Usually, when QBs throw for over 5000 yards and were responsible for 51 TDs in a season (as Keenum did in 2008), they are showered with accolades from all over the land.

But, for Keenum,  many did not think he was the top QB in the city of Houston last year….as Rice QB Chase Clement seemed to get more of the headlines (and the fantasy attention…he was the 2008 Fantasy College Blitz’s Fantasy Player of the Year).   Few remember that Keenum was the one named Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year in 2008.

However, 2009 is definitely shaping up to be Keenum’s year…arguably the #1 Fantasy Player in the nation.   He has most of his skill position weapons back, a schedule favorable for the Cougar offense, and, Clement has used up his eligibility…. Read the rest of this entry →
