12449 Right now I can barley find words to describe my anger, when I woke up this morning, and saw that Graham Harrell, the nation’s leader in passing yards, was not going to make the trip to New York I was out raged, and I asked myself, why? How can college football get away with this? I think that he should have won the award, and to think that he isn’t even a finalist makes my blood boil. Is it because his team lost ONE game, in perhaps the hardest division in college football? No, it can’t be that, because Oklahoma lost a game, and Texas lost at the very hand of Texas Tech. His Stats don lie, he passed for 4,747 that’s 385 more than Bradford, who had one more game then Harrell, due to the BIG 12 championship game. He had 47 total TD’s, Colt McCoy had only 42, and Tebow only had 40. So you would think that a guy who lead the nation in passing yards, and was second in total yards would have a lot of interceptions, no on the contrary he had 7, which is the same as McCoy and only one more that Bradford. His completion rate was a whopping 71.5% which is 3% higher than Bradford, and 5% higher than Tebow. His team had no running game so they relied on this man to win games for them, he threw the ball 568 times, and he completed 408 of them. McCoy played for a team that needed him to throw the ball only 375 times, and with Bradford’s extra game he still only threw the ball 442 times. So I ask myself this, why is a man who had the best stats in the nation, who had only one loss on the year. Who threw for more yards than any other QB in the nation, why it is that he sits home when he was the best QB in the nation? The answer I don’t have, because it just doesn’t make sense to me that this man, who has contributed so much to college football, should be utterly and completely snubbed like this. Wasn’t it enough that his team got snubbed from a BCS bowl? Apparently not, and I know my vote doesn’t count, but in my books Graham Harrell is the Heisman winner.
