Heisman Tenets Should Bend for Brennan

Submitted by punchnpie67, Dec 5, 2007 02:06

In no way am I saying Colt Brennan is a bad QB. In fact I think he is a great QB and look forward to seeing how he does in the NFL. But everyone keeps talking about oh he has these records, he threw for this many TDs, and his team is undefeated. Ok well if we want to bring stats into it lets bring in some other stats besides those.

Out of the teams Florida played 10 of them had winning records. 1 finished at 500 and one had a 5-7 record. Out of the three teams they lost to 1 is going to the National title game and the other is playing Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl.

In those three losses Tebow still carried his teams throwing for 201 yds 1TD rushing 75 yds 1TD (Auburn)

158 yds 2 TDs rushing 67 yds 1 TD (LSU)

236 yds 1 TD rushing for 2 TDs (Georgia)

Now lets look at a stat that if you are pulling for Brennan to win the Heisman you tend to ignore.

Out of the teams Hawaii played 2 had winning records and 1 had a five hundred season the other 9 all had losing records.

I hate the fact that you have two teams in the WAC that are good and the rest are horrible but those are the facts. If Brennan is invited then everyone in Hawaii should celebrate because it's a big accomplishment but don't be disappointed because he's still good.

As for the writer of this article. Come on guy do your research before you write an article. Now you just look a little like Fox News trying to tell me you are reporting Fair and Balanced News.

Good luck to UH in the Sugar Bowl.
