SEC Heisman Watch List For Week 7

Due to the problems surrounding Georgia running back, Todd Gurley, the Heisman watch list has a new SEC player up top for the Heisman, and maybe for the entire nation as well.

With Gurley being suspended due to violating NCAA rules, that leaves Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott out on top for the Heisman. Even though Gurley leads the SEC in rushing yards, touchdowns and yards per carry, its still unclear whether or not he will return this year or not. Gurley has returned to practice this past Monday but we don’t have any further information. But at least its good for Prescott in this situation, hell I wouldn’t be complaining if it were me.

Prescott has led the SEC the entire season thus far, totaling for 2,089 yards on offense and 23 touchdowns. Other than leading the SEC in numbers, the last three wins against top 10 teams may have a little to do with it. During those three wins, Prescott has averaged 361.7 yards of offense and 11 touchdowns. Not to mention he has thrown for 200 yards and rushed for 100 yards in his last four of five games. This guy is legit.

Here are a few other SEC players who you should watch out for.

  • Mississippi State running back, Josh Robinson, isn’t slowing down for the Bulldogs and neither is the rest of his team. The junior back has averaged 133.7 yards on the ground and five touchdowns during the past three wins among top 10 teams. Robinson leads right behind Gurley in the SEC with 689 rushing yards and is tied for first with eight touchdowns.
  • Ole Miss quarterback, Bo Wallace is my next choice. You can’t overlook what this kid has done this season, especially what he did to Alabama. With three SEC games down in the books, Wallace has averaged 310 yards of offense with seven touchdowns and no turnovers. In SEC play, he is in second with 1,700 passing yards and 15 touchdowns. No doubt in my mind that Wallace will be up for the Heisman running for the remainder of the year.
  • The last one is Alabama wide receiver, Amari Cooper. Cooper leads the SEC with 58 receptions and 768 receiving yards but has seemed to fall down the ladder after being held to just two catches for 22 yards during the win against Arkansas last Saturday.

Florida Fans Desperate To Have Dan Mullen Back

Who remembers when the Florida fans created the web page, fireronzook.com, when they were eager for a new coach? Well it looks like their back again but with a different page called “HireDanMullen.com.”

That site and as well as another, “WeWantDan.com” recently appeared on the web as the Florida Gators struggle to a 3-2 record (2-2 in SEC). The two web pages that seem to be created alike, are not owned by the same person.

Now, there is a lot of talk around the nation that the Gators need to fire Will Muschamp. Do I agree? Yes, I do. Will the Gators have the nerve to fire Muschamp after this season? Absolutely. The way things are looking right now, Muschamp will be unemployed after this brutal season. Its been 3 1/2 years and Muschamp hasn’t had any success what so ever. But most of the Gator fans think Dan Mullen is the right guy to replace Muschamp. What do you think? I mean, its hard to say because of the success that Dan Mullen is having at Mississippi State. Hell, their ranked No. 1, hes getting good pay, his family loves Starkville, what more could he want? Hes one helluva recruiter, just look back at his Florida days when he helped bring in Tim Tebow and Cam Newton. Even if Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott leaves after his junior year, I promise you that Mullen will bring in another big, strong, athletic quarterback who will be a Heisman contender.

Now if I were UF’s AD, Jeremy Foley, I would take a shot at bringing Mullen back to Gainesville. Mullen has paid his dues. He has proven that he can build a program and win big games, he lead the Gators to a pair of championships in 2006 and 2008, and has beat three top 10 teams in a row. Foley knows him. The Gator fans know him. Everyone clearly knows Muschamp is the Achilles heel in the Florida program and it needs fixed asap. But hey, what do we know right? We’re just avid fans who love to talk college football.

But hey, you never know what could happen. It might be a little too early for such talk but maybe the Gators will get a late Christmas present after the season.

Who do you think should be the next head coach for the Florida Gators? Let us know.
