Don't mean to pick on you, Twenty, but what more than being included in Heisman hype discussions do you think Wolfe should get?

Best: Steve Slaton - He comes up big in big games.
Overrated: Mike Hart - He hides on the sidelines in big games.
Underrated: Darren McFadden - Arkansas had 4 losses by 4 points or less last year, I'm looking for them to make some big strides this year.

Thanks...and to you too aurora...he only played for a couple of years at Wazzou, so I had forgotten he was out of school and off to the NFL now. My bad.
OK, OK...it's Pittman.....IT'S PITTMAN!!!

Amen. The kid got good press because he had an outstanding freshman year. He continues to get good press because of that year and the potential he has to be an outstanding back. Pittman doesn't get the press because OSU's offense stunk in the two biggest games of the regular season, Texas and Penn State, and becuase the 04 Buckeyes couldn't run a lick unless the ball was in Troy Smith's hands. |

I'd just like to say that Antonio was one of the few bright spots on offense in those games.
Texas: 17 carries for 75 yards
Penn St.: 15 carries for 58 yards

Hey, I stand by my picks. Walker may not be considered an 'elite' back in college, but I consider him one. Sure, Walker gets a lot of attention already (heck, he GOES to ND...), but I feel he deserves every bit of it.
Same with Garrett Wolfe. Wolfe beat my Toledo Rockets single-handedly last year and in stunning fashion (first win for NIU against UofT since NIU joined the MAC. The game was also at Toledo... and they DON'T lose at home). That said though, I think the Bucks will take care of him first game. Maybe not Heisman worthy, but he's worth keying in on on defense.
Also didn't realize that Charles only had that many yards. It seemed like more than that to me (if I remember correctly, he broke one out for quite a few). It's easy to say that he wouldn't have had even THAT many if it wasn't for those VY trickeration hand-offs
