Trinity University’s Last Second Win After 15 Laterals Is Worth A Second Look

Trinity University beat Millsaps College on a last second play that may be the most amazing ending for a football game ever. This play gave Trinity University a 28-24 victory over Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi on Saturday, October 27, 2007.

I watched it on the news last weekend, and just had to post it. Check out the video to see what could be the most amazing football play ever:

As expected, Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith won college football’s Heisman Trophy today.

Troy Smith got 801 first place votes and he won the overall Heisman vote by 1,662 points. Each of those were the second best results in the history of the award.

For those wanting to know why he won, here is a video highlight reel of Troy Smith’s 2006 Heisman Trophy season:

Wow! Vince Young off to a great start!

Wow, Vince Young has 4 starts and 4 wins! One can only wonder what Tennessee’s record would have been had Vince Young started the whole season.

Yesterday, Vince taught the rest of the league a lesson that they will need to keep in mind the rest of his carreer:

“Don’t ever count a Vince Young Quarterbacked team out!”

Yesterday, the Titans were down 21-0 in the fourth quarter and came back with 24 fourth quarter points to win the game against the Giants. Vince Young had a huge fourth quarter and showed us all how important the QB position is and how important a winning attitude is.

Barring injury it is likely that Vince will have an impressive highlight reel from his NFL carreer. To get a glimpse of what that might look like, you can just go back and take a look at some of the highlights from his college carreer by enjoying the video below:

Hall changes rules for Bowden and Paterno

The college football Hall of Fame changed it’s rules in order to induct Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden this year. Previously, you had to be a retitred coach to be inducted, which lead Bowden to believe that he would have to be dead to be inducted. Well all that has changed. The Hall of Fame changed it’s rules to allow coaches over the age of 75 to enter the Hall of Fame.

Along with Bowden and Paterno, former FSU QB and heisman trophy winner Charlie Ward was inducted, as well as the following players:

Bob Anderson—RB, Colorado, 1967-69
Bennie Blades—DB, Miami (Fla.), 1985-87
Carl Eller—T, Minnesota, 1961-63
Steve Emtman—DL, Washington, 1989-91
Thomas Everett—FS, Baylor, 1983-86
Chad Hennings—DT, Air Force, 1984-87
Chip Kell—OG, Tennessee, 1968-70
Mike Phipps—QB, Purdue, 1967-69
Mike Rozier—RB, Nebraska, 1981-83
Jeff Siemon—LB, Stanford, 1968-71
Bruce Smith—DT, Virginia Tech, 1981-84
Emmitt Smith—RB, Florida, 1987-89

You can read more about the inductees by clicking here.

I am very happy for all the inductees. Being a graduate from Florida State University, it’s very nice to see Bobby Bowden get a chance to be inducted during his lifetime. It’s nice to see Charlie Ward inducted as well.

Vince Young Carreer Highlights Says it All

Take a look at this video of Vince Young’s Texas college football highlights from his “carreer” as a Texas Longhorn Quarterback.

While there are a lot of rushing highlights, what impresses me the most is how many of these highlights emphasize his passing ability. One of those great touchdown passes that comes to mind is when Young threw a 24-yard touchdown pass through double coverage with 2:37 left in the game this year against Ohio State. That TD pass gave Texas a 25-22 win over then No. 7 ranked Ohio State.

Take a look at Vince Young’s college stats:

Vince is Texas’ all-time leader in total offense (9,167 yards), career touchdowns (81) and career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (37).

In his last season with Texas, Young became the only player in College Football history to pass for 3,000 yards (3,036) and rush for 1,000 (1,050) in one season. He set a set a school single-season record for total yards – 4,086 total yards.

Vince is a phenomenal prospect. He has that special “it” factor, that can’t be quantified. That is why Texas beat Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush’s vaunted USC team, that is why he is the best QB prospect in this draft. He has something you can’t coach. He has “IT”.
