If Dixon Absolutely goes off against Bama next weekend....
- Thread starter GABully24
- Start date
and by that I mean 8+ games.
I'm selling, just not quite enough, & a little too late.
Hell AD doesn't even have a bumper sticker... maybe overprint some of Snead's.

four straight games of almost 40 carries and 250+ yards a game with at least three TD's? Unreal.
and although I realize your question is hypothetical, I'd be happy if he can get to the century mark (& we don't give Alabama easy points like pick-6's & blocked punts).
They will be able to play us straight up. UK could not do that and when they walked the safties up we burned them deep. It was a pick your poision situation. He could have a huge game vs ARK though. I think that Barry Sanders was on a team that was not all that good but hit has been a while.
Kentucky's rushing defense ranks 12th in the SEC, giving up 195.9 yards per game. Bama's rushing defense is 1st in the SEC, giving up 64.6 per game.
Now, if he were to go off for 200 against Bama's D, then he'd get a lot of attention nationally, but still not Heisman talk. With 5 losses already, you won't have a player in New York, even if you won out and he gained 1000 yards over his last 3 games. That's just the way the Heisman works. It's a team award for the most part. The last player to win it from a team with more than 3 losses was Ricky Williams, and rarely do you even have a player get an invite or finish Top 5 if his team has more than 3 losses.

I said all along that if Snead was going to be considered as a serious in the race, it was going to be if we went 11-1 or 12-0 (same as for everyone else), and I didn't expect us to do that well. The Heisman is less about stats and more about what your team does. If you're seen as the primary weapon for a team that has made a great run, you'll get hyped for the award. Look for Masoli from Oregon to start getting some pub for that reason.
