Will Troy Smith be the first QB from the big 10 to win the heisman?

If they win Saturday he will get it, UNLESS, Quinn has a Montana like performance & racks up some stats.

I'm a huge nd fan but I definitely don't think they will make the title game. The lowest ranked team to get to the championship was a seventh ranked lsu so maybe we could make some new history. I think they will make the sugar bowl and play west virginia and kick some major butt. Title game is in sight next year though because we have jimmy clausen coming to south bend and as we already know when weis has a great qb magic can happen.\n\np.s. quinn will win heisman

Troy is, without a doubt, the best player in College Football today. That being said, let's look at how other Heisman QB's have fared in the NFL. Jason White. Eric Crouch. Chris Weinke. Danny Wuerfel. Notice a pattern? Heisman flops. Another pattern? They're all drop-back, "traditional" QB's. But Troy has the legs, too. He can take a game into a whole different dimension. Troy's speed makes him a whole different category: the QB scrambler. Troy is the second mainstream running QB to be considered a potential pro threat. The first? Mike Vick.  But Vick wasn't even close to this good in college. So I think Troy will be succesful in the NFL. He's got great decision-making skills, and he's not having difficulty as a college QB. Look back at the Michigan game. Or the Texas game. He makes some of the nation's best DB's look positively ameteur. Troy should lead a productive career starting for an NFL team (Detroit? Oakland? Cleveland?). Perhaps he'll be the first of his breed to gain top-tier status. All in all, his prospects are ripe for the NFL.

From what I am hearing it will be USC, which I think is wrong.  I think it should be OSU and Michigan.  If that game the other week had been played at Michigan instead of OSU, Michigan would have won it.  It could have gone either way and home field has it advantages.

I thinks its a fight between Joe Tereshinski and Blake Barnes, Terishinski is a junior with much more ecperience than Blake but it comes down to fall camp, But i truly think it will be Jow Terishinski that will be the starting QB for Georgia

I think so. Hope Raiders get a great QB this season

What about Thomas Clayton... he's the best player on the team.  If K State will have any success at all this year it will be because of him.  Besides Meier's probably going to start at QB anyway.

Troy Smith all the way!

Ohio St. QB Tippy Dye in the 1930's...and Troy Smith if he gets it done today

I would say he will win hands down., unless he has a terrible game and Michigan beats them badly.  Quinn took a loss early, which will mean less votes.  Rice and Slaton both look real good, but a Heisman winner coming out of the Big East this year, I don't think so. Smith will be the 2006 Heisman Trophy Winner. Take it to the bank.

The choice hasn't been made yet....\n\nThe two with the best chances are Colt McCoy and Jevan Snead, both of whom are Freshmen (McCoy is a redshirt freshman, Snead is a true freshman).  \n\nCoach Brown hasn't hinted as to which will start against North Texas on September 2nd.\n\nAre they any good?  They wouldn't be at UT if they weren't!  Texas is consistently one of the best recruiters in college football.  But count on this....neither of them is Vince Young.   Boy, you Longhorn fans will miss Vince come September 9th as you host Ohio State.....

After the Buckeyes destroy USC for the national championship Troy Smiths stock will be up around middle to late 1st round pick. If he attends the combine and does well he may go as high as 9 or 10. Here in C-town I am hoping the Browns pick him, at the rate they are going they might be picking higher than 9 or 10 so hopefully the Browns can manage to win a game or 2 and move down to pick Troy Smith.

Ohio State has a good returning team.  USC and Texas will be right in the mix as well, with strong recruiting classes.  An early season game between Texas and Ohio State at Texas could decide early which one of those two teams makes it to the BCS championship game.  Look out for Florida, though, in the second year of Urban Meyer's leadership.  Chirs Leak is a senior and potential Heisman winner.  Same with Oklahoma looking to bounce back with Adrian Peterson.  At this point, I'd have to go with USC still.

Dude....tough call!  It seems like the Big Ten is moving more and more to the West Coast Offense, but the foundation of the conference is running the ball.  Perhaps not as much as in the SEC, but the coaches in the Big Ten need to run to win.\n\nThat leaves us with a lot of good players to consider:\n\nMichigan's Michael Hart\nOhio State's Antonio Pittman\nMinnesota's Amir Pinnix\nNorthwestern's Tyrell Sutton\nMichigan State's Javon Ringer\nWisconsin's Hill/Walker/Foster combo\nPenn State's Tony Hunt\nIndiana's Josiah Sears\nIllinois's Pierre Thomas\nIowa's Albert Young\nand \nPurdue's Kory Sheets.\n\nMy money is on Tyrell Sutton as the best back in the Big Ten, but the spread offensive never hurts.  Sutton averaged 5.9 yards per carry last season, and he will get more touches with Basanez gone.  My only concern is that the offense could get too one-dimensional there if CJ Bacher can't keep up the good progress made by Basanez.\n\nWho will lead the conference in rushing yards next year?  That's gonna be Albert Young.  He is built like the ideal RB.  Strong and quick.  He and Drew Tate are the perfect one-two punch on the Hawkeye offense.\n\nThe most valuable back to their team?  Kory Sheets.  Purdue QB Curtis Painter loves to run the option, and that will only add to Sheets's production.\n\nMy Honorable Mentions are extended to Hart, Pittman, Ringer and Pinnix who will all have HUGE seasons next year.\n\nKeep your eyes on Jehuu Caulcrick for MSU, though...he's fantastic, too.\n\nMan, there's just to many good backs to choose....GREAT QUESTION!!!!

Ain't gonna be a spankin on either side. OSU wins by 2. Look at it objectively and compare the 2 teams. Nobody has an edge at running back, receiver, defensive backs or line. OSU has the advantage at QB. Henne is good but Smith is great. If Henne has to start making plays UM is in deep trouble. Coaching goes to Tressel over Lloyd Cooper, er I mean Carr.
