The Top Three 2008 Heisman Musketeers
#3. First on the list, but the third overall is no other than Texas Tech’s WR Michael Crabtree. Ah yes, when you ask yourself about this stellar wide receiver and his previous accomplishments, all that comes to mind is the little fork that always is included at most restaurants with crab legs. Despite associating his name with food, his accomplishments in his debut season with Texas Tech were phenomenal just like gas prices. Crabtree had at least nine catches in 10 games in 2007, and scored at least one touchdown per game. According to Rivals.com, he set numerous national freshman records in posting 134 catches for 1,962 yards and 22 touchdowns. Not too shabby. One thing is for sure; the 3 Musketeer bar will not improve, but Crabtree’s coaches say he is on the verge of winning the 2008 Heisman!
#2. This guy has more than a candy bar on his mind. Todd Reesing, QB, for Kansas has proven himself as a gifted athlete. At the end of March he helped Kansas achieve the 2008 National Basketball Championship after winning a 2007 BCS Bowl Game (not the Musketeer Bowl, unfortunately). Reesing has his work cut out for himself and his team in hopes of returning to a national title game. And remember, Ohio State has Terrelle Pryor! You better win the Heisman before the trophy changes its name to the “Pryor Award”.
#1. If the shoe fits, wear it! No one fits the shoe better than Ohio State Running back Chris Wells. According to Rivals.com, in his final six games of last season, Wells rushed for 967 yards and three touchdowns on runs of at least 47 yards. All that was against defenses that ranked 58th or better in the nation, including two – Penn State and LSU – that ranked among the top 11. With an experienced quarterback sitting in the pocket Wells is extremely dangerous in the open field. Seeing Ohio State on your schedule is a recipe for a unavoidable diaster; kind of like how Mint Chocolate Cream Puffs are for your diet.
