Depneds on our game, and the LSU game
If he has highlight reels in these games then yes

McFadden is hands down the best player in college football.

But Dennis Dixon will win the Heisman if his knee injury isn't too bad.

Talk about getting steamrolled. Wow.

Well, at least we showed you how not to defend Arkansas.

Good luck next week. The man is a beast. And I'm not so sure that Felix Jones isn't the best back on the team! Talk about a one-two punch.

The Heisman can be lost in one game:
........Manning lost it in the Florida game in 1997
........Matt Ryan lost it in Saturday's Florida Sate game and
........McFaddin lost it in the Auburn game

I agree, and if Dixon is healthy and Oregon wins out, it's hard to argue with giving it to him. If one of those two wins, I won't take offense.

playing in a conference full of decent D2 defenses should impact Dixon the way Coors Field impacts the world's view of Todd Helton's stats.

McFadden will wrap it up after running for over 500 this wk against us. Our D just can't tackle and he's the best rb in the country.

Where have I heard that line before?

Does anybody go out there and say "Such and such defensive player from the SEC is overrated because he faces insonsistent or inept offenses most of the season."

I'm going to assume you are using sarcasm, because anyone that looks at Helton's away stats will know Coors doesn't impact his stats as much as most want to believe.

that just tells me that you haven't actually looked.

At Coors, HOFer, away from Coors, middlin' 1B at best

I do and am saying it now. McFadden is benefitting from the weakest set of SEC defenses that I can ever remember.

I actually cannot remember a single strong SET of Pac 10 defenses.

It's not like it's terrible, I believe. Can you really say with any conviction that the Big Ten, Big XII, ACC or Big East is better across the board on either side of the ball than the Pac-10?

Of course not. Anyone knows that every team in the SEC could win 10 games in the NFL this year.

You could say that, but you would be wrong. Don't expect much Pac 10 respect though..

Forget across the board, maybe if the Pac-10 had one or two defenses worth talking about. However, USC has proven to be less than stout, taking the lone defense the conference has ever had out of the picture.

Helton is a .367 hitter at Coors and a .295 hitter away. All hitters have lesser stats away from home. It's baseball fact. I've seen specials on ESPN and SportSouth saying the same. His differentials between home and away are no more than the average ballplayer.

a 72 point spread is enormous, period. Pretending the Coors effect hasn't been enormous for Helton is silly. The precipitous dropoff in his power numbers once they began using the humidors is all the information necessary. He's a very good first baseman with huge OBP (OPS on the slide due to lack of pop), but first basemen aren't paid to be obp machines.

I love Helton and hope the Rockies can find a way to keep moving the right direction so he can taste some championship before he's finished.
