Will The Real Heisman Candidate Please Step Forward

It is now Week 6 of the 2007 College Football Season and one thing is for sure, I have no idea who the real Heisman Candidates are. When the season started we had a group of players led by Darren McFadden, Colt Brennan, Colt McCoy, Steve Slaton, Patrick White, John David Booty, and Jamaal Charles. I can honestly say that none of those players have shined and many of them have hurt or exhasuted their chance at winning the Heisman this season. The Heisman Pundit each week takes a look at the chances for each player and gives his top 3 to 5 for that week. After last week's mess, he has narrowed this list of winners down to 3; McFadden, Booty, and Tebow. I rarely disagree with such a Guru like HP, but I think he is missing some key players in this race. I also understand that politics play a big part of who wins the race, but here are some additional players that should get some consideration. Andre Woodson has to be considered a contender. We will find out more about him this Thursday against South Carolina, but he has put up some strong passing numbers and has led Kentucky to a 4-0 record. He beat Louisville and Arkansas (ahem McFadden) on consecutive weeks. Woodson has 1300 yards passing and 16 TDs, let's see if he can continue against the meat of the SEC. PJ Hill of Wisconsin appeared on the radar screen last year as a freshman and with Wisconsin in the Top 10, he should appear again this year. In 5 games he has 10 total touchdowns and 667 yards on the ground. If the Badgers keep winning, Hill will be a main reason why. Boston College is at the top of the ACC and Matthew Ryan is a huge reason so. The Eagles are 5-0 and Ryan has thrown for 1545 yards and 11 touchdowns. BC lacks a strong running game so we do know if the Eagles continue to win, it will be with the arm of Ryan. Laugh if you want but Michael Hart should get some Heisman consideration. If not for Hart, the Wolverines might be winless. Hart might not be big in stature, but he runs all out every down he carries the ball, and lately that has been the majority of the offensive snaps. The Wolverines till have a shot at winning the Big Ten title and Hart has 761 yards and 7 TDs in those 5 games. The more Michigan wins, the more people should look at Hart. Even though the Ducks lost on Saturday, Dennis Dixon's play was not a reason why they lost. Dixon does it both through the air and on the ground. In the air Dixon has 1238 yards passing and 12 TDs while on the ground he has run for 308 yards and 5 TDs. If Oregon can upset USC later on this season, the nation will get another glimpse of how good Dixon is.
