CFN mentions Vincent as a Heisman hopeful. http://www.collegefootballnews.com/2004/Spring_Preview/Heisman_watch.htm
Re: Re: Vincent...Heisman? I agree!!! Because he won last year his name will be mentioned again in '04 but IMO he is a dark horse candidate at best. Look for the AP/PAC 10 lovefest to continue with Lionfart from USC getting a ton of publicity.
he should get a ton of publicity. he's a good/great qb on a great team. he sure as hell is more deserving than white. i think that even if all the pieces of the team next year fall into place (namely the o-line crushes people, vincent won't get hype because he's a soph and he will platoon.
He is on a pretty good team but I'll wait until he sees a defense better than what they have in the PAC 10 before I hand him the Heisman. I think either the LSU or the Oklahoma defense would have eaten him alive this year.
On top of that, I really can't see Coach Saban giving the athletic department the thumbs-up to launch a full-blown Heisman campaign on behalf of one player. It detracts from the team concept he so effectively espouses.
Lienhart will win the Heisman b/c of the lack of D in the Pac 10. I guess Palmer and Leinhart were able to put up similar #'s because these sorry defenses have not changed. If I was a qb sign me up with USC, so we can go thru a cupcake schedule and pad my stats.
I would be shocked if JV got near the carries he would need to win that pissing contest they call the heisman, hopefully he'll just win another NC MVP award.
