Alabama's Greg McElroy for Heisman?

First Down - why aren't any of the media wonks mentioning Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy for the Heisman...Terrelle Pryor is everyone's favorite, but what has he really done so far this year?...and if anyone is going by past performances, McElroy has never lost a college game...in fact, he has not lost a game as a starting quarterback since the 8th grade...

Second Down - There are two bee-hive games this week...#10 Iowa is going to #18 Arizona...Mike Stoops, a graduate of Iowa, could derail his alma mater's shot at the national title...it seems that whenever a Big 10 team goes to play at a PAC-10 school on a Saturday night they come back home with an L...

The other bee-hive game is Nebraska at Washington...Washington's Jake Locker is being projected by Mel Kiper as the first overall pick in the next NFL Draft...the Huskies lost by seven at BYU two weeks ago...this one is just smelling like an upset...Washington can play with the big boys - remember the USC game last year...

Third Down - are the Big 3 Florida schools a tad down this year?...Ohio State and Oklahoma exposed The U and Florida State as two frauds...even though the Gators are 2-0, there is still an obvious hangover from the Tim Tebow era...Gator Nation goes to Knoxville this week to play Tennessee...just a few years back this used to be a classic battle, but the Vols program has been in flux with all the coaching changes...Florida will get tested when they head to Bama in early October...

Fourth Down - here is a name to remember - Marcus Lattimore...Lattimore is a freshman running back for South Carolina and he has the Ole Ball Coach switching from the Fun N Gun to the plain ole run...the 6'0", 220 lb Lattimore is muscular bowling ball who batters defenses...his numbers against Georgia were 37 carries for 182 yards and two touchdowns...this might be the kid who gets Spurrier to his first ever SEC title game as head coach of the Gamecocks..
