Just a short one from me this evening as I have still not recovered from the Lions walk off loss to the Colts on Sunday and this evening the young gunners are playing in the Champions league.
The big news coming out of college football today alongside with the BCS bowl rankings (which I will discuss later this week) is the Heisman trophy finalists. The three well deserved players are Kansas State quarterback Colin Klein, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel and Norte Dame line backer Manti Te'o. All three players are fully worthy of their trip to New York this weekend and all deserve the right to be crowned Heisman winner.
I have one clear winner in my opinion and I will take you through why Manti Te'o come Saturday afternoon should hear his name called. There is no bigger leader currently in college football and for leadership skills alone he is probably the best leader since Florida quarterback Tim Tebow. He is not only the emotional leader of his team but also sets the tone and example on the pitch. He is the best defender in college football he is always around the ball, tackles with force and is a playmaker. He impacts the game not only in the backfield like any good linebacker will but he creates turn overs. He has the second most interceptions in all of college football this season and he plays linebacker, this fact alone is staggering.
By definition the Heisman trophy winner is deemed to be the most outstanding footballer in college football. Johnny Manziel or Johnny football as he is being known as has put up outstanding numbers but I believe Te'o is the most outstanding player. After all he has lead his team to the nation championship and an unbeaten season. Yet to fully understand how good Te'o is you need to watch how much he impacts the game by sticking on his tape. Lets hope the voters this Saturday have watched their fighting Irish tape.
