Title: ESPN: Caliber of defenses should help Richardson Post by: pmull on November 16, 2011, 11:31:00 AM It’s difficult to pinpoint a front-runner, although according to the ESPN Experts’ poll this week, the top three are Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, Alabama running back Trent Richardson and Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden, in that order.
All three have excellent numbers, and all three play on teams that are or have been in the national championship race all season. How a player fares in big games has always been one of the main components I take into account when filling out my ballot. The other is how a player fares against top competition, and in the case of these three players since they’re all offensive players, how they’ve fared against the toughest defenses. Richardson blows the other two away in that category. The Alabama junior running back has faced five teams ranked in the top-25 nationally in total defense. Weeden has faced one and Luck none. http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/33086/caliber-of-defenses-should-help-richardson Title: Re: ESPN: Caliber of defenses should help Richardson Post by: SUPERCOACH on November 16, 2011, 11:37:14 AM I hope the other voters are smart enough to recognize this too.
