Well as the story goes and the games are played, the 2007 UK vs, U of L game gave us the following:

 

Scratch Brohm off of the Heisman List. => He will NOT win the award. May get to NY by default now.

 

Scratch U of L out of the National Championship picture. Will be lucky to win out and get a BCS bid. Just dont think its going to happen with that defense.

 

So, the season rolls on......

 

:eek:

Brohm will not win the award? If Brohm wins out and throws for over 4,000 yards ( which IMO he will) and around 30-35 touchdowns, who else will win it? Woodson?? I highly doubt it. And U of L could win out and still make the national championship game. USC could get beat, so could Florida, LSU, West Virginia, and every other team ahead of them.

But I will say that Woodson throws for over 6,000 yards and 60 touchdowns and wins the Heisman and UK goes 14-0 winning the SEC championship and beating USC in the national championship 71-17.

No they cannot. That would mean the upper echilan teams of college football would have to lose twice, and that is not going to happen. Fair or unfair, voters will not give equal weight to a one loss USC, OU, LSU, etc. to a one loss UL team. They can still win their conference and have a great season.

 

I am not sure how you inferred the original post was saying Woodson is heading for the Heisman either?

Brohms chances of winning the Hesiman have absolutly nothing to do with Woodson. Woodson, in my opinion, needs to win out, to truly have a "chance" to win the award. He can have a great year, is off to a great start, but there are a couple of toughies on the schedule that remain......

I understand that Brohm was hurt alittle last year but here are the stats for 2006 for Brohm and Woodson....

Brohm 3049 yards 16 TD's 5 int's

Woodson 3515 31 TD's 7 int's

Now I dont think that anyone could argue that the SEC was a much tougher conference to play in and Woodson has better numbers with a worse team. I dont understand wy Brohm is so highly ranked? Tell me what he has done so much better than Woodson?

Can a quarterback lose a Heisman Trophy because his team's secondary can't find a wide receiver without a searchlight and a pack of bloodhounds?

 

We're going to find out.

Louisville's Brian Brohm is putting up Heisman-esque numbers this season: more than 1,100 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, just one interception, 67 percent of his passes completed. Saturday night against rival Kentucky on the road, Brohm brilliantly led an 83-yard drive -- completing six out of seven passes -- for the go-ahead touchdown with 1:45 left.

Louisville's Brian Brohm put up huge numbers, but could take a fall in the Heisman rankings.

 

 

 

Turns out he got his team downfield too fast. Because the last thing he wants to do this year is count on the Louisville defense to close out a game.

Sure enough, a massive coverage bust helped produce a 57-yard touchdown pass from Andre' Woodson to Steve Johnson with 28 seconds left. Just that quickly, the night became a coronation of Woodson (who deserves it, having thrown four TD passes in the game and shattered the SEC record for consecutive passes without an interception). And now Brohm's Heisman campaign probably is in John Edwards, come-from-behind mode.

Arkansas' Darren McFadden is probably wondering whether the same thing happened to him Saturday night. His 200 rushing yards against Alabama were overcome by the Crimson Tide's 41 points.

Both players should not be counted out of the Heisman race by any stretch. But don't be surprised if we start hearing more about guys such as Florida's Tim Tebow, Boston College's Matt Ryan, and, yes, Woodson -- guys whose teams are still unbeaten.

Fact is, the Heisman has become almost inextricably linked with team success. It has almost become an award for the best player on a team in the top 10 (or even the top five).

That's how you end up with an Eric Crouch winning the thing. So although Brohm and McFadden should remain in the discussion, they're each a loss or two from being pushed out.

In Brohm's case, more losses appear likely with a defense that cannot reliably stop a leaky faucet, much less West Virginia or Rutgers or South Florida or Cincinnati.

Word is that head coach Steve Kragthorpe became more hands-on with the Louisville D after its inept performance against Middle Tennessee. The Cardinals were better on that side of the ball against Kentucky, but far from stout.

We'll see when the ESPN.com Heisman poll rolls out this week how much Brohm has to pay for that.
