No, he doesn't even have to do that. He doesn't have to be the most polished QB, or be able to throw every pass to be an NFL quarterback to win the Heisman. He is the most electric and important player in the country right now and that is what the Heisman is all about. Tommy Frazier wasn't the best passer in the country, but he was the best player. That is what DRob is on pace to be if he keeps this up. But like other say, lets keep our heads. It is only week 2. Go Blue!!

Unstoppable. 

 

Just think, the last two drives they didn't score he missed a seam route for a TD and a tough drop by Roundtree that would have been a TD.  He could have had 300 yds passing and 200 yds rushing.

ONE GAME AT A TIME!

Just keep doing it.....stay focused.  We don't need to talk about individual awards, the media will blow that up and continue to blow it up.

Damn, I am so proud of the way the entire Team responded.  I can not say enough about how composed the coaches have these guys playing.  AWESOME!

CONGRATS to the entire TEAM!!!

For Rich to take this team into South Bend and pullout a last minute crushing blow compairable to last years win speaks milestones. The momentum turn, missed/piss poor calls by the officials, and the fact Mich has always had a hard time at ND proves to a lot of negotive Nancy's that this team is in the right direction. I love every aspect of our new game and what's to come. Watch it cuz' here comes the media tsunami of nob slobbering. Hail.

There's no question that he's been the most impressive player in the country in both of the first two weeks and against two quality opponents.  If he can replicate those performances as the season goes on, he will certainly be in the Heisman conversation, but more importantly, Michigan will be in good shape in terms of W-L record.  Go Blue!

I switched over to PSU-Alabama on ESPN after the game and they did their College Update featuring Michigan's win. As they were switching back to the game broadcast, after showing a bunch of Denard highlights, you hear Rece Davis say something like "Can you say Heisman?"

For the text 2 games we take a page out of the Tecmo Super Bowl playbook and kneel every KO at the 1.  Denard then runs off tackle for 99 yards.  As long as he remembers to run diagonally back and forth he'll be good to go.

but it would be pretty ridiculous not to be including him on your list (so far) if you're an analyst.  On sheer numbers alone.

That said, Jacory Harris and Christian Ponder were supposed to be in the thick of it until this week, so let's take it one (KICKASS) week at a time.

Awesome game!  We should have put them away in the 3rd.  500+ yards of offense from DR against Notre Dame and he deserves all the Heisman talk because there is no player out there that is as explosive as he is.  Let them all come!  Shoelace is RR's guardian angel, and will end up saving his job.

it seems that both denard and tate can be clutch versus the irish, he punted, he threw, he ran, marked imrpovement from cluth situations last year (i.e. iowa), hes really coming around nicely

That last drive was so impressive. Invaluable experience, too. The throw to Roundtree on the two or the td he dropped? Cannot believe how on the money those were. That ND team was no joke, either. They've got some talent.

For a Michigan player to win the Heisman, it's a given that he has to have a big game against Ohio State.

We have a ways to go before then.

For now, congrats to Mr. Robinson. The gridiron is his neighborhood, and it's a beautiful day even when it's gray and overcast..
