College notepad

| I realize that Wisconsin RB Ron Dayne will win the Heisman Trophy,
but nobody was more deserving of it than Georgia Tech’s Joe Hamilton this
year. In 10 of Georgia Tech’s 11 games, Hamilton ran an offense that scored four or
more touchdowns. Although some people hate to admit it, Florida State needed to get Peter
Warrick back at the end of the year to beat Florida. Without Warrick, I doubt the
Seminoles would be playing in the Sugar Bowl for the national championship.
Notre Dame could face continuing problems next year, which may cost coach Bob Davie
his job. First, the team continues to play a killer schedule. Second, the academic
standards are very high. Third, the school is not in a conference.
Two top young quarterbacks in the college ranks are also top pro baseball prospects,
and they may end up playing pro baseball, which would be a tremendous blow to the NFL. If
Georgia’s Quincy Carter, who has already played two years in the Cubs’
system, would just concentrate on football for the next two years, and Stanford backup QB Joe
Borchard would do likewise, they could be the first two quarterbacks selected in the
2002 draft. |
