Barkley is done. He doesn’t pull his head out of his ass, his draft stock is the next thing to fall.

Gotta think he's in self preservation mode. People start talking about going to Cleveland with the no. 1 pick, and you have decisions to make, you know?

He'd better be careful, Browns also have the 6th pick.
Of course, they won't actually use it to pick a player.... so, I think he's probably safe.

Barkley will be in New York. The media went all in on him early on, and they aren't going to admit they were that wrong.

I have misplaced my pants.
He's at 899 rush yards for the year.
He has 2 games to play before the Heisman ceremony.
In the last 3 games he's averaging about 47 yards per game.
He got 35 yards against Rutgers.
He needs to average 50.5 yards per game to hit 1,000 before the Heisman ceremony.
Can a pure running back get less than 1,000 yards rushing and still be "in contention"? I understand he isn't exactly a "pure" running back, as he's also returning kicks and averaging about 52 yards receiving per game. But still, he shouldn't be considered a "best running back in the Big Ten", much less "best player in the country".

Let's check in on how Barkley's been doing in the fourth quarter since the Ohio State game.... You'll recall:
Against Sparty (Loss 24-27) Barkley ran the ball 3 times for 13 yards (4, 4, 5). He was not targeted in the passing game nor did he return a kick. Crunch time in a tight game... disappeared.
Against Rutgers (Win 35-6) Barkley ran 4 times for 19 yards (7, 3, 2, 7). He was not targeted in the passing game, nor did he return a kick. The 19 yards gain against Rutgers was the second most yards he's gained in the 4th quarter this season. Oh... and.. the 19 yards also constituted 54.3% of his total yards for the game (35) on the ground. So... there's that...
New Grand Total of 4th Q production:
29 carries for 81 yards (2.8 per carry, long of 12)
10 receptions on 13 targets for 97 yards and a score
4 KO Returns for 69 yards
43 touches for 247 and a score
If that doesn't scream B1G Offensive Player of the Year, I don't know what does.

Damn. I know his OL is shitty but...those are ugly numbers. He's a really good player, but after he struggled to do much at Northwestern outside one carry, he would've had to go for a 1000/1000 season to get the numbers. Should've just thrown him 10 passes a game after that.
Right now I'm thinking the invites go to Mayfield, Jackson, Love, and...Kirk Ferentz? I mean, he does the most with the least.

Well, it's time to eat my hat and endorse the "Barkley for Heisman" campaign. I had always said he doesn't deserve it because he wasn't a 1,000-yard rusher, and he had a lack of 100-yard games. With his 158 over Nebraska, he now has FOUR (4!!!) 100-yard rushing games, and he now has 1,057 yards for the season.
It's time for Urban Meyer and other coaches to apologize to the nation for attempting the hatchet-job of Barkley. If those teams hadn't tried to keep Barkley in the backfield, he'd have 3,000 rushing yards by now, and it would be the greatest wonder our eyes had ever seen. Pretty classless of all of those coaches.
