Even though the Heisman Memorial Trophy will be announced on Saturday, and right now it is "only" Thursday, it is never too early to speculate who will (or should) win the most coveted award in college football. Actually, people have been speculating about the 75th Heisman since like... last year. Regardless, it is still early enough to offer up some predictions about who is going to take all the beans home. There are five outstanding candidates first and foremost. However, two should be eliminated because their career stats are amazing, and this year was slightly more "average" for them. Good-bye Tim Tebow (and Jesus) and Colt McCoy (and his >70% completion rate). Yes, you have both had amazing careers, but let's be honest, you do not deserve it right now, especially after your sad performances in the SEC and Big-12 Championship games respectively. This brings me to the one-man machine out of Nebraska. Ndamukong Suh, personally destroyed Colt McCoy and the Texas offense. Like in the clip below (thanks to Yahoo! Sports for bringing this to light):
Yes, he has 12.5 sacks on the year. A stat which is outstanding for an interior DL. Here is the problem, he's a DL. No defensive lineman has ever won the Heisman. The only defensive player to win it was Charles Woodson, and he also played some special teams. Therefore, it should be a safe bet to eliminate Mr. Suh from the runnings. Oh how harsh this world is! The only remaining candidates are running backs. Therefore, let us compare them directly to each other.
