QB Troy Smith - 2006 Heisman Winner (Official Thread)

[DaddyBigBucks]

Gentlemen:

If I may return your attention back to the subject of the greatness of Troy Smith for a moment...

Only Rudy Carpenter of ASU threw fewer interceptions than Troy Smith did last year. Contrary to popular belief, the Pac-10 teams that Mr. Carpenter played against did actually put eleven men on the field while they were on "defense".

That is all.

See my comment in the NIU game thread. NIU's record in the cited games: 0-2. Enough said.

Go Troy!

Please rate the top 10-15 returning Div 1 college QBs for this year. ESPN rates the top 25, but they make you pay to see it as an “Insider,” and I’m too cheap for that. – Dan B.

A: We’ll be coming out with our full, official player rankings in about three weeks, but in the meantime here’s my initial top 15 QBs going into the season based on talent, and not necessarily what the final production will be (subject to change in a few weeks) … 1. Brady Quinn, Notre Dame, 2. Drew Stanton, Michigan State, 3. Troy Smith, Ohio State, 4. Andrew Walter, Arizona State, 5. Brian Brohm, Louisville, 6. John David Booty, USC, 7. Chris Leak, Florida, 8. Drew Tate, Iowa, 9. Drew Weatherford, Florida State, 10. JaMarcus Russell, LSU, 11. John Beck, BYU, 12. Kevin Kolb, Houston, 13. Chad Henne, Michigan, 14. Pat White, West Virginia, 15. Colt Brennan, Hawaii

That's right. In the 2nd half of the 2005 season, Troy Smith was the highest rated passer in all of Division IA!
BTW: Drew Stanton really did go in the tank, didn't he?

EDIT: Before some killjoy reminds everyone that the final 6 games factors out the Penn State and Texas games, I would like to remind you that this also factors out Troy's 272.11 point masterpiece against MSU. That was his highest rated game of the year. Going by only the last 7 games would not have even been fair.
