On3’s latest Heisman poll. Mendoza’a lead has grown. He now has the same lead over 2nd(Sayin) that 2nd has over 6th(Simpson). 

If Michigan beats OSU I think the award is his

Not sure UM even has to win. As good a year as Sayin has had I think there are a fair number of voters who struggle with the idea of voting for a guy who everybody knows isn’t even the best player on his own team.

True. I think people have quietly noticed how sayin has looked average without his NFL WR corp as well.

Just thinking about it. December 6th could be a huge day in Indy for IU 

At full strength I think we can give OSU a game. If we have key people out, our backups are not as good as theirs. It's just where we are as a program right now. I think Cignetti gets us in a couple of more cycles but we are not there right now.

If we have key people out, our backups will be going against OSU’s starters and their backups will be standing on the sidelines wondering if they will see any playing time.  Screw the Suckeyes and their stupid buckeye mascot.  LFG!  GO HOOSIERS!!!

Dude is going to play in the NFL for 20 years no matter what. If he’s not a starter, he’s an elite backup.

Full interview. Great insight about QB Coach Witmer

Mendoza impressed the crap out of Urban Meyer

Check this out. Mendoza starts at about 25:30. The kid just never puts a foot wrong. Ever

I hope that if he goes to the Jets, Browns, or Raiders, he turns out like Darnold or Mayfield and kills it after leaving there.  Those 3 places really need a QB coach or a OFF Coordinator who knows what he is doing with him.  He will need that intelligence to survive those places.

After the few minutes of good-timing, Fernando and Urban Meyer (but especially Fernando) talk about technical reads, coverages, and defensive 'tells' in a way that I have seldom, if ever heard in an interview. Or, to quote Urban Meyer, "This is like the best sh!t I've ever heard." This interview should be a recruiting video for Whitmer and Cig; no QB that wants to be great could resist it.

This is the best behind the curtain stuff ever, presented by a Cal Berkeley School of Finance graduate with a next level brain to go with his talent. And you wonder why a guy like Mendoza is so incredibly good and a freshman or inexperienced QB has practically no chance in comparison? This also makes me realize just how viable Alberto is an an option for next year; he's been mentally wired to have the same split second high level processing.

In summary? Shoot this stuff directly into my veins. It. Is. AWESOME.

Fernando is as perfect a "face of the team" player there is. What's real crazy is I'd say Fisher isn't too far off. If I were a casual fan or fan of like Syracuse or TCU etc I'd be really rooting for this team. 

[Hovadipo]

A Fernando Mendoza Heisman speech would be an absolute all-timer. They pretty much always suck. His would go nuts.

Any idea if potential bowl game tickets on the secondary market are going to be higher or lower between now and the quarterfinals?
