Brady Quinn for Heisman

I'm completely on the Brady Quinn bandwagon and I think you should be too. Here's why:

- 4th in the nation in total offence with 348.6 yards per game

- 4th (tied) in the nation in points responsible for with 126

- 5th in the nation in passing with 2352 yard

- 9th in the nation in passing efficiency with a 161.9 rating

Nobody who has played the top notch teams that Notre Dame has can boast of such a resume. Remember - the Heisman is not the award for the player most likely to be successful in the pro's. It is for the top NCAA player. And before you throw stats for Cody Hodges at me - look at the number of times he was able to put the ball in the end-zone against the number 2 team against how Quinn did against USC the number 1 team.

Reggie Bush? He's a running back but only 11th in the nation in rushing. Michael Bush, the Louisville QB, has more rushing yards and more rushing TD's than Reggie Bush.

Matt Leinart? The head to head game should have shown people who was the better player.

Remember - it's not who will be the number 1 pick in the NFL draft. The Heisman goes to the NCAA player of the year. This year that player is Brady Quinn.
