Padron for Heisman?

[SMU 86]

Wow. And to think his head coach didn't even think he was ready to play and didn't know enough of the offense when he was thrust onto the field at Houston! And to think, if not for Bo's injury Kyle may not have played at all last year and here people are mentioning him in the Heisman race. Makes you wonder if the ole ball coach really knows that much about quarterbacks in this day and age. Gotta give him credit for getting Padron to SMU. Now don't mess up a good thing! Some guys are just winners!

Interesting, especially for someone who once bent over backwards in order to defend BM.

Bo has made tremendous progress the last few games due in large part to the OL.The problem is that the receivers other than #17 have not stepped up to the plate.

By your own logic, your desire to continue using BM and not recognize him as a problem makes you even less knowledgeable than the coaching staff. Therefore, any criticism you have regarding the leadership provided by our generals is equally questionable.

Interesting observation SS.

I am not at all implying He cannot put up these numbers cuz I know he has the ability and he can. Put we should avoid placing him on the pedestal so early. He is going to step up and if his numbers are anything like Case Keenum's (Which I think they can) then we should be able to make a solid arguement for the Heisman race. Cannot wait for the Tech game!

Since the article was saying he was top ten at his position for the Heisman and not top ten overall for the Heisman. I think that is fair. Good recognition for SMU. Beat Tech.

It's good recognition, and it puts the SID in a good position to talk Kyle up for 2 years. If he happens to put up a couple of ourtrageously successful seasons, he may be on a shorter list come his senior year. It is never premature to hype a talented player for the Heisman. A lot of premier players were never seriously considered simply because the voters didn't know much about them. Given the very little tv exposure we get, our people need to make a lot of noise whenever we get the chance.
