Monte Ball: 36 touchdowns (second most in NCAA history), with a good chance to break Barry Sanders record. 1622 yards rushing before tonight.

Trent Richardson: 23 total TDs, 1583 yds rushing.

One is pretty much the consensus Heisman favorite right now, while the other is hardly mentioned. GTFO

Ball should win it he is having an unbelievable year. I don't think we will see a year like this in a long time

I just posted this question in the b1g champ game thread. I have no idea why he's getting no love. Doubt it's "sec bias" though.

Richardson could put up those numbers against Wisconsin's schedule if he had a coach that enjoys running up the score.

Probably true. It's really hard to argue with thirty-six touchdowns.

Also, it's Montee Ball folks.

Wisconsin lost to a horrible team that eliminated any of its players from Heisman consideration.

Well then FOX is full of shit as they just showed a stat during the B1G game that stated Richardson had 1,910 total yards and that it ranked 2nd in FBS.

Truth. And what does the SEC have to do with anything? Luck is in the convo and he does it against nobodies. He doesnt play in the SEC.

Okay. Trent Richardson was a legit preseason Heisman candidate, Ball wasn't. Typically this is a factor - fair or not.

yeah, fair or not..

I personally find it pretty hard to almost discount somebody completely who has 33% more touchdowns and more total yards than the leading candidate, but thats just me.
