I can’t for the life of me understand how a 2,000 yard rusher is not a Heisman Finalist. The Heisman committee released its list of finalists ahead of Saturday night’s Heisman Trophy presentation. The finalists are Lamar Jackson, quarterback (Louisville), DeShaun Watson, quarterback (Clemson), Jabrill Peppers, Athlete (Michigan), Baker Mayfield, quarterback (Oklahoma) and Dede Westbrook, wide receiver (Oklahoma). I don’t necessarily have a problem with that list but there are…
It’s official. I am officially on the eight team playoff bandwagon. I’ve always felt it was necessary but I never really lobbied for it. I am now going to start lobbying for it now because too many good teams got left out of the playoff this season. How does a team who wins arguably the best conference in college football this season not make the playoff? Penn State deserves to…
