You only strike the pose if you're, like, going to win the Heisman.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:21 PM ^
Does this mean he is now in the Heisman race? Can he jedi mind trick the public like this? Well played, if so.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:21 PM ^
It wasn't even that great a return, poor coverage on WVU and great blocking by his teammates.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:21 PM ^
Seriously, it's game 4 out of 12 (or 13). Just smile, run really, really ridiculously fast and preach about being a team player.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:22 PM ^
Its like guaranteeing a win. When Namath did it, it was epic. Now everyone does it and half of them lose and its not a big deal anymore.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:22 PM ^
As a college football fan he is mighty impressive
As a tulane alum, I hope he gets broken on a punt return at some point and has to spend the rest of his life in that cess pool known as baton rouge.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:24 PM ^
I just moved from Baton Rouge to Boulder. Quite an upgrade for me. I always tell people the only good thing about Baton Rouge is that it's only an hour from New Orleans.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:28 PM ^
in Honolulu Blue and Silver though....
September 25th, 2010 at 11:33 PM ^
Hahahaha this is actually comical. When desmond did it it was actually a critical game and situation and at the end of the season.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:45 PM ^
he is not made from the Dilithium.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:45 PM ^
Not specific to this play, but I noticed in this game that WVU is using the huddle, as opposed to the RR no huddle spread. With the tools at his disposal (Noel Devine, etc...) why change Offensive philosophy?
September 25th, 2010 at 11:51 PM ^
cause this guy is their head coach
September 25th, 2010 at 11:56 PM ^
I'm pretty sure he's saying, "Milk was a bad choice."
September 26th, 2010 at 1:32 AM ^
...he has a headache
September 26th, 2010 at 12:00 AM ^
Obviously I want Denard to take home the stiff-arm trophy, but Peterson is an amazing cornerback. He deserves any hype that he gets.
September 26th, 2010 at 12:05 AM ^
Striking the pose after an easy return in the 4th game of the season. He needs to keep his head on straight.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:38 AM ^
Denard's kneel after he scores is way more B.A. than any other celebration in college football.
September 26th, 2010 at 11:34 AM ^
Let's say the Heisman race does come down to Denard and Peterson.
<br>
<br>Denard will by far outshine Peterson in the statistics category. Then there is Denard's character vs. Peterson's. Peterson's Heisman pose 4 games into the season gives us an inside look to what he thinks of himself and who he is as a team player. The Heisman trust voters will take notice.
September 26th, 2010 at 12:01 PM ^
You're giving the voters too much credit.
September 26th, 2010 at 12:21 PM ^
Peterson's a great player, one of the best defensive players in college football, but he's always been arrogant like that.
He also has a knack for cramping up when the game's on the line.
September 26th, 2010 at 12:42 PM ^
I like how Michigan fans are like "Peterson is way out of line for doing this. Desmond Howard did it, but...but...but...it was, like, an important game!"
It was a cocky thing to do by Desmond Howard.
It was a cocky thing to do by Patrick Peterson.
It's as simple as that.
September 26th, 2010 at 12:47 PM ^
September 26th, 2010 at 12:51 PM ^
To you, yeah. You're a Michigan fan.
Desmond Howard struck that pose about 20 years ago. Peterson was probably an infant then. It's cliched to us because we're Michigan fans and we've seen it replayed 20,000 times.
To an LSU player or fan? They've probably seen it, but it's not nearly as "old hat" as it is to us.
Regardless . . . like I said, it was a cocky move by both players. Different situations, sure, but still cocky and unnecessary. If players would just hand the ball to the ref and carry on with their business (Barry Sanders, Denard Robinson), we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
September 26th, 2010 at 2:32 PM ^
I think Peterson is more deserving of the Heisman than Robinson is, as of now. 2 Punt returns and two picks are impressive.
