Being as unbiased as I can, I think Tyrann Mathieu should win the Heisman.
Quote:
Mathieu dropped back to receive another punt. About the only thing the Bulldogs managed to do was keep him out of the end zone. He cradled the ball, took off down the center of the field, cut back to his left, stutter-stepped and turned on a burst of speed, basically came to a stop around the Georgia 30, then took off again and was finally dragged down at the 17.
He avoided or broke away from at least eight of the 11 red-clad guys trying to bring him down, a Heisman-worthy play that could be enough to at least get him to New York for the banquet -- if not earn serious consideration for the award as the nation's top player. Certainly, no defensive player has come up with more game-changing plays.
Mathieu has scored four touchdowns this season -- two on returns, two more from his cornerback spot. He's forced six fumbles. He's picked off two passes. He's the leading tackler on one of the nation's top defenses.
