Cedric Benson for the Heisman - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

BuffSoldier · 09-26-2004

This guy has been playin like a madman the first 3 games and running all over the defenses. In the first 3 games hes had 558 yards for 186 yards per game 6 TDs and an 8.7 yard per carry average. Not to mention 2 receptions with one for a TD.

I think hes the best RB in the nation and the second best player on the team(behind DJ who leads the big 12 in tackles). Hes got my Heisman vote so far.

If you think that CB or anybody else deseves the Heisman you can vote here
at the Heisman website and contribute in the votring process.

He's got a good chance for it but 2 of the 3 games weren't that much of a challenge. Playing Rice and North Texas early will always boost your numbers. I'm still betting Matt Leinhart wins it, but Bush looks really good too. The guy returns, runs and catches.

Benson said he would rather win the Heisman than beat OU but he has to beat OU to win the Heisman...

Given Texas' recent history against Stoops and OU Peterson might outgain Benson in the Red River Shootout. Reggie Bush is amazing. I don't know how much of a shot he has at the Heisman with the RB rotation out at USC, but if any underclassmen is going to win it will be him.

right now i would have to put my heisman board as this:

kyle ortan
cedric benson
antrell rolle
matt leinart
david pollack
david greene
that lineman from troy who ran in the touchdown

Only one defensive player has ever won the Heisman, Charles Woodson. Woodson also returned punts and kicks, so I don't think a defensive guy has any shot. Another thing is that only juniors and seniors have won the Heisman, so Reggie Bush looks like a longshot. If Fitzgerald couldn't win as a soph, chances are Bush won't. I think that Orton kid is probably gonna win, and keep the tradition alive of Heisman QB's sucking it up in the NFL.
