After a very difficult week to get big wins, some players stood out from the pack in big ways. Now I know Oklahoma State isn’t exactly my favorite to win the national title, but they will sure make a Bowl Game. Oklahoma State’s quarterback Brandon Weeden passed for over 400 yards and passed for six touchdowns. I don’t ever recall someone passing for 6 touchdowns in one game. Impossible? I think not, he has put himself up on a high level with some other standouts. He is a few yards shy of the 1,000 yard mark and it’s only been three games! With State being 3-0, it will be likely that you will hear his name a few more times come December.
My boy again, it’s been three weeks in a row that Terrelle Pryor has made my cut. The stud quarterback from the Ohio State passed for over 200 yards with two touchdowns. They aren’t spectacular numbers, but they have been good enough to keep Ohio State undefeated. The Buckeyes are currently ranked second behind the Crimson Tide for the third straight week. Pryor is showing his leadership by leading his team onto the road to the National Championship with his positive attitude and suburb numbers. It will take a very bad game from Terrelle for his to not be counted in for the Heisman.
Kellen Moore had an early bye week that kept him from being mentioned last week. He passed for over 350 yards against a week team, but statistics are what they are. His Broncos will face another tough task when they take on Oregon State this upcoming week. Boise State already has one win against an AP ranked team, so this shouldn’t be new to them. Look for Moore to shine in a good game between the two schools.
A newcomer to the boards is the running back from Oregon, LaMicheal James. James carried the ball only 14 times and rushed for over 225 yards! Only three other players since 2004 have accomplished a feat like that, Reggie Bush from USC and Jahvid Best from Cal. Both backs have already made names for themselves in the NFL so let’s see if James can make a name for himself while he is still at Oregon
