Joel Buchsbaum's college notepad

| Right now, the Heisman Trophy race looks like it’s going to come
down to two quarterbacks — Florida’s Rex Grossman and Eric Crouch
of Nebraska. I’d give Grossman the nod because he’s been so productive, and
he’s going to have a national spotlight game this weekend against Florida State. If
he does well against FSU and Tennessee, I think the award will be his. ... Two players who
will not get much Heisman Trophy consideration but deserve a lot of it are Fresno State QB
David Carr and Indiana QB Antwaan Randle El. I don’t know two players
in college football who do more for their teams than those two. Carr is an outstanding
passer with tremendous guts who probably would be just as effective, if not more
effective, than Grossman if he had the receivers and talent around him Grossman has at
Florida. Randle El is the most dynamic player in college football. He often carries the
entire Indiana offense on his shoulders and is the reason the Hoosiers are so explosive.
... If Miami (Fla.) wants to win the national championship, the Hurricanes are going to
have to start playing with a greater sense of urgency than they’ve played with
recently and get better play from overrated QB Ken Dorsey. ... The best player in
Division I-AA may be Villanova’s all-purpose RB Brian Westbrook, who ran for
287 yards and four touchdowns and caught a TD pass against Hofstra. Though their styles
are a little different, Westbrook reminds me of Dave Meggett when Meggett was at
Towson State University. |
