if MSU hold UW below 30

I think they can score 30+ on The Badgers and Bucky’s 5th qtr on ave. has the Badgers scoring 29.9 pts, and if they are a bit optimistic then MSU will win. All it takes is just a little extra effort:

In addition to personal statistics, team achievements play a heavy role in the voting – a typical Heisman winner represents a team that had an outstanding season and was most likely in contention for the national championship or a major conference championship at some point in that season.

If MSU is crowned B1G Champion tonight, the Spartan Nation needs to start shouting loud and proud about the unmatched “team acheivement factor” that his leadership and determination has so highly influenced. I think a victory tonight will naturally cause more buzz about Kirk’s outstanding personal acheivements; but, I’m calling out to the Spartan Nation that after a Spartan victory, it immediately start “fighting with a vim” at driving Kirk’s name directly into the Heisman discussion. GO GREEN!!!

Ain't gonna happen.

Too many people who have a better case, even without figuring in team accomplishments. I think he gets less credit than he deserves, but let’s not go overboard.

I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left-hand side.
