Tennessee defensive back Eric Berry has a solid piece of viral Heisman Trophy marketing in his corner, and he’ll need it if he wants to be only the second defensive player ever to win college football’s equivalent to “Miss America.” [Can you name the first? Answer's after the jump] It’s a spoof on those credit report commercials that some of you probably find annoying. As you can see from the end of this spot, you’re not alone. Thanks, Wayland.
Boston College narrowly avoided this season's curse of being the #2 team in the country, eking out a 14-10 victory over Virginia Tech last night by scoring two touchdowns in the final 2:11 of the game. On a rainy night in Blacksburg, Heisman candidate Matt Ryan engineered the first scoring drive beginning from his own 9-yard line, then BC converted an onside kick, then the final touchdown drive (video above, courtesy EDSBS) led to much excitement and silly dancing.
Anyway, the Heisman debate continues to tear our country apart, as Ryan's shaky performance all game long (25-for-52, 285 yards, 2 INT) means he's not worthy of the college football's most overhyped future eBay item, while his icy cool performance under fire to get the win means he's more deserving than ever. Whoop-dee-doo.
In conclusion, Hokies? More like Chokies LOL!!!1!1!
