Will Denard Robinson win the Heisman Trophy?If you want excitement in college football. If you want to watch someone that will make you not want to blink, there's one name for you...Denard Robinson!
Michigan's sophomore quarterback, Denard Robinson, not only leads the nation in rushing yards. He not only is ranked #3 when it comes to passer rating. He currently tops the Heisman Trophy list. Granted, there's still a whole lot of football to play, but Denard has came out every single game, played his heart out, and undoubtedly has proven to be the best athlete on the field in each game that he's played.
Some argue that he hasn't faced a tough enough defense. Some say the Wolverines have yet to play any tough teams. And that could all change come Saturday.
The 18th ranked Wolverines will host the #17 Michigan State Spartans on Saturday. Michigan State is going to be the toughest team the Wolverines have played this year, and this game seems like it should be a shootout.
Michigan State has Kirk Cousins, has an experienced backfield, and has possibly the best defense that Michigan has faced all season. But will it be enough to shut Denard Robinson down? Probably not...
Denard has led Michigan to two last minute, game-winning drives this season, and he looks to lead his team to the Paul Bunyan Trophy, this Saturday. If Michigan wins this game, it'll be the first win over Michigan State since 2007.
Is Denard in the lead for the Heisman? He definitely is!
Will he win the Heisman? No one knows, but if he can consistently perform the way he has been, there's no doubt in my mind, and there shouldn't be any doubt in anyone else's mind, he'll win the Heisman Trophy.
What a great game that should be between those 2 Michigan teams. BTW-When was the last time these schools were rated this high same time? I'm an Irish fan and better days are ahead for us. Denard is the real deal no doubt. Good luck the rest of the way.
ReplyDeleteYou know what, I just saw something on ESPN about the last time they faced off when they were both ranked, and for the life of me I can't remember when it was. I think it was quite a while ago, but I could be mistaken.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be a tough task this Saturday. Michigan's defense is not doing very well at all. We rely so much on Denard to score points for us. If he goes down to injury, our season could pretty much be over.
We'll see what happens.
