Heisman Trophy Watch

Good evening!

It's Saturday, which means it's college football. It's also a time to talk about one of the game's annual and most storied awards - The Heisman (HYES-man) Trophy. It's awarded to the nation's "most outstanding" college football player. Often, however, it's awarded to the most outstanding offensive player. It's often a quarterback or running back, even a wide receiver. There are rare occasions, however, when a defensive player has won it. Example: Charles Woodson of Michigan won in 1997 as a defensive cornerback.

Here's what you can chat up:
> Who's the front runner this year? Some say it's Mark Ingram, running back from Alabama. Others say Tim Tebow (TEE-bow) the QB at Florida and Colt McCoy, the QB at Texas are at the top of the list.

> What impact does a team's record have on a Heisman candidate? Often, quite a bit.

Enjoy today's hot tips from the BBQ!
