Robinson robs the spotlight

Denard Robinson is now really the clear cut favorite to win the award.  I couldn’t think of a time where four games into the year that a quarterback had passed and rushed for 1,000 yards!  That is very unlikely to happen in the NFL, quiet the contraire in the NCAA as well.  On Saturday, he passed for 277 yards and ran for 217 yards.  It has been awhile since I can remember anyone playing at a consistent level like he is.  Robinson is on pace to rush and pass for over 3,000 yards, a feat that has never been accomplished.  Will he do it?
 
Three of Oklahoma’s five wins this season have come against ranked opponents.  This is why Landry Jones deserves some credit.  He is up to about 1,500 passing yards for the year and there are no signs of him tapering off.  Oklahoma is always in the national spotlight and he will keep them there.  I remember him coming in last year as a freshman for Sam Bradford.  Bradford, the previous winner, was taken out in the second game of the year because he had separated his shoulder. Jones will be given credit if he can lead the Sooners on a perfect season.
Kellen Moore is in my top players yet again.  He deserves this spot and nothing should be taken away from him.  Moore has a tad over 1,000 passing yards for the year and he has led Boise State to a number four ranking in the AP Poll this week.  They were jumped by Oregon, but Oregon has a much tougher schedule than them.  Moore has eleven touchdowns on the year and maybe this year will be the year he leads Boise State to a National Championship game.
