RGIII for MVP of College Football

I'm glad Robert Griffin III received the Heisman. It shows that not everyone who wins the award is on the best team. Besides, Andrew Luck will get into more Pro Bowls and possibly MVPs. I'm glad someone who did all he could for the team by running and throwing the ball. He was exciting to watch and put up strong numbers throughout the year. Even though his team's record was 9-3, I'm glad voters understood that RGIII doesn't control the defense or special teams in those losses. Overall, I'm just happy with the way RGIII presented himself at the ceremony and in an interview with Grantland reporter Michael Weinreb. Either Luck, RGIII, or anyone else (except for the Honey Badger -- failed drug test and flipping the ball before the goalline? Great nickname, poor decisions) was deserving for the award. RGIII was just that much better individually, since he really put Baylor football on the map. The play that I will remember most is the first game of the year, where he went over the middle on a 3rd and 10 late in the game against TCU to make the first-down catch to set up the game-winning field goal. I couldn't believe, through the first 3 games, he had more touchdowns than incompletions. Who does that? Only the one guy who is gutsy enough to qualify for the 400 meter hurdles in the Olympics. I have so much respect for this guy.

So in the end, out of the worthy candidates, RGIII would have been my choice, and I'm glad he got it.
