I've said it before, and now that Superman Tebow was contained by slow-assed Michigan, if Beanies runs for 150+ in a victory on Monday he'll be the front-runner for the Heisman next season...

I would think that since Tebow is the "incumbent" he has a lock on the front runner position. In addition, I wouldn't think that 150 yards in the BCS championship game would make him the front runner for the Heisman. However, check out this guy's view:

1. Chris Wells, Ohio State--The clear front runner right now after showcasing his skills to the tune of 146 yards and a 65-yard touchdown against LSU that came while everyone in the country was still watching. He's got speed, power and a stiff arm befitting a Heisman winner. He's an elite junior running back, a prime NFL prospect, coming off a 1,600-yard season, who plays for a traditional power that will be gunning for a national title in 2008. He'll get a chance to launch his campaign early with a marquee matchup in the Coliseum against USC and big games against Illinois and Michigan to close it out. In short, he's set up perfectly for a run at the Heisman.

Any questions?

Ooh, a reverse Keith Byars.

I was thinking about how Beanie compares with big Keith earlier today. Keith was unbelievably shifty for a big man. He had a spin move that embarrassed just about every defender in the big 10 at one point or another.

Beanie on the other hand makes moves that are very efficient - he'll make a guy miss using the minimum of time and lateral space. He could make you miss in a phone booth (but he'd probably just run you over or stiff-arm you into the hospital instead).

If Beanie works a move or two of Keith's into his repertoire... Let's just say that if he busts a spin move on somebody next year it'll make me very happy (and the defender very sad).

For some Heisman winner's, the stiff arm is a pose and nothing more.

For Beanie, the stiff arm is his stock in trade.

Unlike some Heisman winner's, Beanie isn't a poser. That Heisman will represent more than a pose. It will be a symbol of how he played the game. With that thought in mind, they should cast his of Titanium rather than Bronze.

I would love to see Beanie's stiffarm a couple of times against scum this year and then his Heisman pose in the end zone to seal his Heisman.

I don't think Beanie is the type of kid to strike the Heisman pose in the end zone. He is a rare combination of incredible talent and class.

You're right, absolutely no chance. His teammates will be lucky if he stays in the endzone long enough for him to celebrate with them :biggrin:.

Beanie has way to much class to pull a "Desmond Howard".

Yes, maybe he remembers a certain foot getting stepped on last year after a TD run. Robo and Brandon Saine also just hand over the ball after the score. JT has conveyed the message. Although, the celebrations are fun to watch.

As far as celebrations go, something with low risk has never bothered me. Obviously, just handing the ball to the ref is nice. But, I'm thinking like a jumping chest bump is something that isn't risky.

Either way, yeah, just don't jump on your teammates. It's bad for the health.

And we want to see nothing but good healthy celebrations in the endzone. And lots of them this year.
