I think the Heisman should be renamed the Heisman QB Trophy and change the statue to a QB. Times change as RB's have been devalued in today's spread offense world, let alone a D player.
You failed to mention Deion stipulated that Colorado LOWER they academic standards for his incoming FB players. I think that also included his son. So much for theStudent/Athlete at Colorado.
"...the Ducks need to be a lot better on defense next season or it won’t matter who calls the plays on offense."
^That^ 100%. I was never worried about who the OC would be next year. The concern is how bad the defense was (D-Line) was. All problems go back to the Defense. No pass rush makes it tough to get off the field. The Offense was good enough to win 2 of their 3 losses. If it does not improve, a bevy of meaningless bowls are coming this way.
I love Utah and Coach Whit. But Utah was projected to be CFP in the preseason. They debuted at #7 in the AP and that is where they are right now. Taking a page on the Ohio State high expectations of CFP or bust, Utah had a great year and in the Rose Bowl as repeat champs but honestly under achieved given the team we thought they had.
My vote would be for Jonathon Smith or Kalen DeBor. They both exceeded expectations.
PAC12 Coach of the Year; Kalen DeBoer, of course. Who else has accomplished more in one season?
Regarding Coach Prime; the next couple of years will reveal if Sanders is for real. Do we believe the hype? What IS for sure, it’ll be an entertaining ride.
Huskies will handle a petulant Sark&Co. with a proper showing of PAC12 superiority in San Antonio.
Stanford hasn't made a hire yet, although they haven't had a lot of time. Seems like the whole team is slipping away through the portal. Why are players passing up a Stanford degree unless they plan to make a lot of money in pro football? Few on this year's team have pro potential.

I see Coach prime hired "slick Willie"....boy that should interesting...I wonder how long he'll stay b/4 he hits the road again?
Thanks Jon.
What's the over/under on a forward pass being thrown in the Las Vegas Bowl?
I just don't get some of these portal entries?
Drew Pyne. Where is this guy going to find a better gig than starting at QB for Notre Dame?
NY6 Bowl Math.
B1G - 3 teams ranked - $16M in NY6 revenue.
SEC - 6 teams ranked - $14M in NY6 bowl revenue.
Pac-12 - 6 teams ranked - $8M in NY6 bowl revenue.
I LOVE THIS GAME!
Thank God! I thought something happened to you!!

DONE!
Merry Christmas to you and yours, John. 🎄😄
“• AWARDS: The Pac-12 Conference’s all-conference awards are out today. Expect them to be released in the early afternoon. I’ll be curious to see if the coaches themselves vote Utah’s Kyle Whittingham the conference “Coach of the Year.”
He’s the right pick, right?”
YES!
I feel as a fan that I am more loyal than the players. This portal nonsense needs to go.
Picture caption time:
Whittingham: We are going to kill you.
Riley: Ten million reasons why I don't care!
Will you share your Heisman vote after Dec 10 and let us know which 2 you had on your ballot?
It's the G5 schools that are going to benefit from the portal...
They now access to P5 players they never had before.
Whirlwind Week? Sorry, John, it appears to be the Pac-12 multi-millionaires are playing Checkers and not Chess. drjimxlaw64@gmail.com
