They beat Purdue, a team that fired their coach, 20-17.

They beat a 7-5 BYU team 17-14.

They gave up 26 points to a 6-6 Pitt team, but did win in 3 OT’s.

Those are some serious powerhouse offenses right there.

ND beat a Michigan team 13-6, the same team that Alabama beat 52-0.

And none of that is gonna win an average LB whose highlight package consists of 3 plays and 5 minutes of him beating his chest.

95% of SEC fans haven’t watched Te’o play even one entire game. Take Manti off that defense & they’re not undefeated. And the people who whine about ND hype or bias are the same hypocrite that have been saying ND isn’t relevant.

While the SEC is the best conference (although this year it’s getting by on reputation as most of they couldn’t meet all their bowl tie ins), 90% of their fans are ignorant when it comes to CFB. They only watch their team & then spend the rest of their time praying Bama wins another NC so they can at least chant “S-E-C!”

When it comes to forecasting the Heisman Trophy winner, these guys have never been wrong.

Ever.

Love it. End of story.

I love these A&M fans who out of nowhere get one good player and have an ok season and all of a sudden think they have a right to troll, hate, and discredit all the accolades anyone but their Jesus-like JF receives. All these athletes deserved the awards they won. Could you make an argument for others? Absolutely, but such is life. Can’t we just congratulate the players and move on with our lives?

Von Miller? He’s better than Manti

Von shouldve won the heisman, if Manti is nominated.

One good player?? come on man…

Common theme in all these articles…

Best player vs best story…

When it comes to forecasting the Heisman Trophy winner, these guys have never been wrong.

Ever.

What I’ve been saying all along.

But I don’t think he is the best defensive player in the nation…. I just don’t. He for certain will not be the first defender taken in the draft.

I think the undefeated season, his leadership, and the hype of ND have landed him an impressive set of hardware. To me though he didn’t personally have a OMG type season to win every major award.
Just my $0.02.

I guess he is just getting awards randomly, he must suck.

your want better numbers???? see below.

To recap a week filled with kudos for Te’o:

Butkus Award, Best linebacker.
Nagurski Award, Best defensive player.
Lombardi Award, Best lineman or linebacker.
Walter Camp Award, National player of the year.

Then I realized they are pathetic and if Manti had this type of year on their team they would be ALLLLL ABOUT IT.

Look, Te’o is dominant. Dominant ILB.

Too many haters.

Notre Dame is #1

go back to sleep and wait till your respective teams spring game or September…. because ND is #1 and Te’o is simpy the best CFB player in the land.

and please keep up the “Alabama is going to smoke ND, lacey and whats his name going to run for … ” lah blah blah.

Get a grip.

ND is 12-0

suck it

The truth will bare it’s ugly fangs on January 7th when Mr. Lacy and Mr. Yeldon do work.

They did…. Its called the Bednarik.

It’s just not as prestegious as the Heisman.

Everyone knows though that the Maxwell is the consolation prize for the Heisman. Less than half of Maxwell winners won the Heisman.

180 of the 928 votes are public. Manziel is running away with the Heisman with over double the first place votes to Te’o. Statistically speaking… 20% is a very large sample size and if this were an election… CNN would have called it already. They have done this for 10 years now and got it right every year…

The Heisman is not an NC but I would argue it’s the next best award to the Coach’s trophy. I am super stoked and so excited for the future of A&M Football.

That’s what happen when you send a TE and RB on him the entire game… NFL BIG BOARD PROJECTION… Jarvis Jones #1 pick. I didn’t say it. The League did!
