Heisman Watch: Week 7
#10 QB Denard Robinson
Michigan, Jr.
Last week: Nine-of-24 passing for 123 yards, one TD and one INT; 18 rushes for 42 yards and one TD in 28-14 loss to No. 23 Michigan State.
Season (seven games): 76-of-141 passing for 1,253 yards, 11 TDs and 10 INTs; 120 rushes for 762 yards and nine TDs.
Stop me if you've heard this one before: Shoelace puts up monster numbers week after week, but then sees his Heisman chances dealt a major blow against the first ranked opponent he meets. Robinson, who came in averaging 341.2 yards per game of total offense, was held to 165 by the Spartans' stingy D, including a season-low 42 rushing. He also threw a costly pick late in the game which Isaiah Lewis returned 39 yards for a score, giving Robinson one more TD pass (11) than picks (10). Now the question is whether he and Michigan are in for another second-half slide?
Next up: Saturday, Oct. 29 vs. Purdue
