I made the decision, over night, to give my Heisman vote this season to Robert Lee Griffin III (QB), Baylor University. Unfortunately -- I'm still waiting for my ballot in the mail! However, that won't stop me from sharing with you why this young man is AMERICA'S BEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYER and the prototypical STUDENT-ATHLETE-QB Notre Dame should be recruiting for Brian Kelly's offense.
First, let's talk about "RG3's" Heisman worthy season:
- Passer rating of 192.3 -- rank #1 in the country
- Yards Per Attempt: 10.83 yards -- rank #1 in the country
- Yards Per Completion: 14.97 yards -- rank #1 in the country
- Points Responsible For: 22.67 points per game -- rank #1 in the country
- Total Offense: 386.83 yards per game -- rank #2 in the country
- TD passes: 36 -- rank #4 in the country
- Pass Completion %: 72.4% -- rank #5 in the country
- Passing yards: 3,998 yards -- rank #6 in the country
On top of all of this:
- He's taken a football program and led it to their best regular season in 25 years!
- He's the model student-athlete haven already earned his undergraduate degree (Dec 2010) in political science in three years! Now enrolled in grad school. Next up law school.
- Dean's List -- Big 12 Academic Honor Roll (six times)
- Graduated #7 in his high school class
- NCAA All-American in the 400 Meter hurdles -- as a freshman -- world class hurdler
- And, he's probably the best interview in college football -- A CLASS ACT!
Can you imagine this young man in a GOLD HELMET -- running Brian Kelly's offense and representing the University of Notre Dame? IT WOULD BE OFF THE CHARTS!
