East Coast storm brewing for Heisman
We almost made it to November before East Coast bias reared its ugly head in the Heisman Trophy race.
Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan played terrific for five whole minutes last Thursday night at Virginia Tech, which evidently was more than enough to propel him as the Heisman’s head man in the eyes of many back east.
That’s a complete overreaction.
Far as I’m concerned, the race remains wide open with my new leader being Oregon quarterback Dennis Dixon.
Yes, Ryan is on my list. So are Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, Ohio State quarterback Todd Boeckman, Michigan running back Mike Hart, Oregon running back Jonathan Stewart, West Virginia quarterback Patrick White, Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson, Louisville quarterback Brian Brohm and Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree.
With an impressive month, Oklahoma freshman quarterback Sam Bradford and Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel might hit my radar, too.
If Ryan remains steadily unspectacular, look for a continued push from some influential easterners.
But the farther east they lean, the farther west I’m tempted to look.
