Vote every day. He's almost tied for 2nd. If we keep him popular then he might at least get to go to New York in the top three which is quite an honor.

Re: Vote for Trent Richardson for Heisman

Trent certainly needed a better game against UT for me to vote for him this week. He should have got 150 on those guys. Sorry to be pessimistic but he didn't have that good of a game.

Really? Trent accounted for 100 total yards and 2 TDs. The entire offense was stagnant in the first half, but he was one of the few guys moving the ball at all. It's not his fault he only got 4 second half touches.

Having said that, he got as many TDs as Luck, which considering he's a RB is impressive. If you refused to vote for him, who did you find worthy? It's not game to game results mind you, but the body of work.

Edit: Also, it's a bit like judging Cody based on how many tackles he got. They were playing the run most of the first half, Trent was going against 8 in the box and the like. In the second half, they took advantage of that by passing the ball which also opened things back up to the run. However, if not for Trent and the role he plays the passing game doesn't open up like that either. But, while our expectations are high, it's still kind of crazy to claim 2 TDs, and 100+ total yards against our top rival isn't a great performance. He wins the 2009 game by himself with 2 TDs...

^^^Preach it Krazy.

Looking solely at TR's stats is to disregard the impact he has on the game by completely changing the oppositions defensive play calling.

But his stats are pretty good to...

Re: Vote for Trent Richardson for Heisman

this is not a knock on the thread, but something bugs me about this. It bugs me that a popular vote counts as an actual vote. I know we all accept that the Heisman has turned into a popularity contest, but still, it irks me. TR is a Heisman caliber candidate and the thought that he may not get a popularity vote grates my nerves.

Sorry! Continue! And I voted!

I agree... especially when the player leading has been suspended this season.
