SI's Thamel picks Mike Bercovici to win the Heisman

[Iceman]

If he can perform like he did last year and ASU has a great season, then why not be in the contention of being a Heisman frontrunner?

I mean it is definitely conceivable, Berco is extremely talented, but I don't think we need to give Texas A&M any additional motivation.

If ASU is in the playoffs I suppose he'll be in the conversation. But the last 5 Heismans have gone to running QBs. It seems hard to imagine a pocket guy like Berco would win, even if he put up big numbers, when another QB put up equally big numbers and ran for a few hundred yards too. Unfortunately the goofy college offenses can make for crazy stats and thus awards sometimes going to guys who aren't the best players but had the biggest numbers (I'm looking at you Danny Wuerffel over Jake Plummer in 96!).

He will have plenty of weapons to throw to so he could put up some big numbers.

I don't want anybody from SI even thinking about the Devils.

Ha ha, lets keep them under wraps. I hope there is talk about him becoming a candidate mid season.

They need to put it to TAM Saturday to put him and the devils in the talk of everyone for a chance. This game on Saturday is the game of the weekend and on the big stage. Let's hope Graham has them ready to roll!

He is average 414 yards, 63% comp percentage, 3 TD's and .6 INT's a game in games he started last year. That is not too shabby.

It would be great if he kept that up this year. If he did that for 13 games this year, that would be 5,382 yards, 36 TD's.... Let's hope our offensive line can do a good job protecting him, they'll have their hands full tomorrow, and that he can stay healthy.

Thesmel picked him? He's not even a running back!

 

[Cheesebeef]

Did crack make a huge comeback in this country and no one told me!?

 

[Broseph]

LOL

 

[Iceman]

And.... He is officially out!

"Officially?"

Rivalry aside, I don't know what the hell people were smoking when they made this prediction. He's maybe the 5th best QB in the conference.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

He's definitely better than Kevin Hogan

That's not saying much. I'd take Blake Bogenschutz (UTSA) over Hogan.
