some good commentary from Mike Rhoades on Penn State's Kayden Mingo: "He's very serious about wanting to be good. He's very serious about his approach. He's a fun kid to be around. He's smiling. ... But when he walks in the weight room or when he walks in the gym, there's a serious tone to him."

trying to thread the needle here of the final drive being a "Heisman moment" for Mendoza, but Sayin should still be the front runner.

Sayin had one of the best games I've seen against Penn State in the past five years. Mendoza threw one of the worst picks I've seen.
Gotta say, if I had a Heisman vote, I'd be going with the guy who simply torched Penn State from the beginning, not the guy who needed the late heroics (and the best catch of the year).
