Heisman race heats up: Don't give Crabtree the award, yet
Before anyone goes off the deep end and decides to give Michael Crabtree the Heisman trophy before he faces any defensive backs outside the lackluster Conference USA, it would be a good idea to take a look at some of this year's early Heisman hopefuls and see how their campaigns are fairing so far.
Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas - After drawing comparisons to Reggie Bush while tearing up SEC defenses last year, Darren McFadden landed near the top of almost everyone's list of Heisman candidates for 2007. He has rushed for 346 yards and three touchdowns in two games. Of those yards, 195 and two scores came against a tough Alabama defense. Darren McFadden also threw a touchdown pass against Troy in the season opener. The fast and versatile back is difficult to defend. If Darren McFadden wins the Heisman, expect to hear his name early in the NFL draft.
Steve Slaton, RB, West Virginia - First of all, let me say that although Steve Slaton is a legitimate candidate for the Heisman, he has absolutely no chance of winning. This stems from the nation's unreasonable love affair with West Virginia quarterback Patrick White, who will steal votes from Steve Slaton and keep him from winning the trophy despite putting up numbers that may warrant the award. Steve Slaton has racked up 392 yards and eight touchdowns so far this season, but those statistics are over three games while Darren McFadden's numbers come from two contests.
Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville - Many were surprised when this talented quarterback chose to stay for his senior year rather than accompany former Louisville coach Bobby Petrino and tailback Michael Bush to the NFL. Possibly the top NFL prospect at his position this year, Brian Brohm has passed for 1142 yards and 11 touchdowns through three games this season with only one interception. He totaled 366 yards and two scores in a loss to Kentucky and seems to also show composure, putting his team in a position to win.
John David Booty, QB, Southern California - His numbers are much smaller than Brian Brohm's, totaling only 350 yards and five touchdowns in two games, but this is how the Heisman trophy works. In order for a player to win, his team must be excellent and be in contention for the national title at the end of the season. Southern California will be there and John David Booty will lead them. He may not blow anyone away, but he is a very sound quarterback and his numbers will improve as the season progresses.
Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech - Go ahead and call me a homer and a hypocrite, but even I cannot argue with the numbers this freshman has put up in the Air Raid offense. His 538 yards and eight scores are both highs for the Red Raiders. Graham Harrell seems to have found a favorite target as Crabtree leads the nation with 12.7 receptions per game. At this rate, Crabtree will finish with more than 2,000 yards receiving and 30 touchdowns. That is obviously not going to happen, and Crabtree's productivity will shrink with Big 12 defenders covering him for the rest of the season, but his play so far warrants a place on this list.
It is still early. It is possible that by the end of this season, none of these five players will even be mentioned in the Heisman conversation. Players can rise from relative anonymity and burst into the national spotlight in a heartbeat. Crabtree is living proof, even though he will not be in the race by the end of the season. Relax, he still has three more years to win at least one. You can decide for yourself whether I am serious or not.
