In Manziel's case, his clunkers happened at the right time. With South Carolina State and Sam Houston State on the Aggie schedule, it's hard to take his season stats seriously.
quote:
the folks who cover Notre Dame on a daily basis figured this was going to be something special Sept. 15 in East Lansing.
A very sensitive, family-centric young man, Te'o had just gone through the worst week of his life. His grandmother and girlfriend had died within hours of each other. Would he even be able to play against Michigan State?
quote:
Not only did Te'o play, but he was dominant. He channeled his emotion into a positive performance: 12 tackles, 1 tackles for loss, a fumble recovery and 2 passes broken up.
After the game, on his way to the team bus, Te'o stopped to talk. He was spent. The tank was empty. He had physically and emotionally given his all.
He should have won the Heisman Trophy right there.
All that was lost in the national scope.
Gotta love ND fans and media.

I have several family friends that are ND grads or fans. They were bitching how the award should be the best player on the best team with the most heart. because thats what the heisman is all about

I wonder if people feel guilty parading his personal tragedy to try to pony up points for their favorite team.

Isn't there some Spirit award for these types of stories? Serious question.

Johnny Football never did this. I think he has a fair point.

yea, he was really padding stats in games he only played a half in.

Johnny took a total of 1 snap (for an 80 yard TD pass) in the Sam Houston and SC State games 2nd halves combined

Teo is definitely the only football player to experience tragedy this year. no doubt he should have been given the Heisman this year, and for good measure be given next year's, too, whether or not he goes pro.

Don't matter, won Heisman.

I have no doubt that Te'o is a very skilled player, and it's truly unfortunate that his grandmother and girlfriend died...but Johnny Manziel had an extaordinary year. To have beaten Tebow and Newton's numbers with two less games is truly historic. And I don't think that can be said about Te'o's year. JFF

Ah, the national media: Full of more panting bitches than a semi-annual American Kennel Club competition.
