I'm going to start this blog entry by asking a question... Is there a reason why The NCAA invited more then Cam Newton to the Heisman Presentation??? I understand its tradition and all, but today should just renamed Cam Newton Day. With that said my pick to win the Heisman today is of course CAM NEWTON.
First off for all you haters I'm not going to even mention any of the off the field issues. As I've been saying with Reggie Bush this is an award going to the best player in NCAA Football. I believe Reggie Bush deserved it despite all the violations that may have occured. It's ashame that he was stripped of his Heisman but I can see it through everyone else's eye. He was supposed to be ineligible so if he was suppose to be playing he would have never racked up the stats he did. That is a complete different arguement so I'm going to leave that for another day. On to the real story. Today is the day we celebrate the best performance by an NCAA athlete for the 2010 football season. Here's a look at the finalist and the stats they put up.
Cam Newton- 165/246 2,589 yds 20 td's 6 int's 67.1% 188.16 passer rating 10.52 ypa 242 rushes 1,409 yds 20 td's 5.8 avg
LaMichael James- 281 attempts 1,682 yds 21 tds 6.0 avg 13 rec 169 yds 1 td
Andrew Luck- 245/349 3,051 yds 28 td's 7 int's 70.2% 166.10 passer rating 8.7 avg 51 rushes 438 yds 11.0 avg
Kellen Moore- 245/345 3,506 yds 33 td's 5 int's 71.0% 185.04 passer rating 16 rushes -21 yds -1.3 avg 1 td
Now that you seen the stats can you answer the question. This has to be a runaway for Newton. His stats are equal or better then all 3 of the other candidates. I'm going to use this year and start out 1-0 on picking Heisman Winners. It seems like we always enter the day when the trophy is presented having a pretty good idea of who will win and this year is no different. In my eyes Cam Newton is a runaway. I wish I could say it looks closer then it is but that would be a lie. At the end of the day Cam Newton will be doing his best Desmond Howard with all of us to see. Not only does his stats back it up, but he is just a PLAYMAKER! I caught a little bit of the SEC Championship Game and one played sumed his season. Yes I's talking about the Hail Mary Touchdown pass just before halftime. Anytime Auburn needs a play to be made they can always call on Cam. We all know his name is going to be called and no matter what your take is on his off the field issues we must give credit where credit is due. He had a terrific season and he should be recognized for it. So already knowing the outcome(unless their is some shocking upset) I want to congradulate Cam Newton for joing the list of past Heisman winners, winning the 2010 heisman.
