Could a player named Jheranie win the Heisman, and other thought provoking RUTS questions and rumors

Today's random RUTS thoughts and mullings:


- Could a player named Jheranie win the Heisman? The UNC wide receiver continues to dominate the Heisman polls.

- Will Tennessee Head Coach EBDial lock up the "Coach of the Year" award by knocking off UNC this week and sending the Vols back to the SEC title game for the first time since 2007?

- Will new Florida head-ball Coach Gump be able to bring the Gators back to prominence? He needs to win his final game to send the team to a bowl game this season.

- How ticked off will Mike the Tiger be if a 1-loss LSU team gets snubbed for a national title birth by a 1-loss Ohio State team...after the Tigers defeated Ohio State 27-24 in week 2?

- Will injured Ohio State QB Kenny Guiton (strained pectoral muscle) be back in time for the Buckeyes' clash with Oklahoma in the Big XII title game. Listed as out 2 weeks, all signs point to him being back after injuring the 'pec' in the Bucks' 50-7 victory over Michigan, but could the cold weather in Columbus hamper his healing?

- Can anyone hold Trent Richardson to less than 200 yards rushing in a game?

- Aint it funny how previously undefeated Clemson, South Florida, and Central Michigan all lost over the course of the last three weeks?

- Is there any truth to the rumor that Oregon has made overtures to Alabama Head Coach StuBucksman? Coach Stu's agent and official spokesperson has denied the rumors. However, RUTS has learned through a source that is said to have connections to someone close to Coach Stu that he is indeed interested in moving his family to Eugene, Oregon if a) Alabama doesn't meet his high contract salary demands, b) the NCAA doesn't grant RB Trent Richardson "eligibility for life," or c) Nike owner Phil Knight would be willing to let Coach Stu wear his traditional game-day Keds on the Oregon sidelines.

- Does the fact that Oklahoma's recruiting is sagging behind in the current Rivals rankings mean that recruits were scared off after last season's NCAA investigation into coach utvol27's program?

- Can we officially deem Miami Coach stinvol the unluckiest coach in RUTS history, as far as injuries go? In addition to losing his top 2 RBs for the season, Coach stinvol lost his starting QB AJ Highsmith for the season thanks to a pesky dislocated elbow.

- What the heck is up with everyone wearing the all-white Keds cleats this season? Bama started the trend in season 2 and everyone must be using the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" philosophy.
