Michigan Wolverines quarterback Denard Robinson holds a lead In the Heisman Trophy Ratings
Michigan Wolverine sophomore quarterback Denard Robinson maintained his lead in the Heisman trophy ranking with an additional excellent overall performance – although going out of the game early – against the Bowling Green Falcons last week, a major sport media outfit announced Tuesday.
Robinson, the country’s leading rusher, maintained his lead in week five of ESPN’s Heisman Trophy Watch, barely in front of Boise State’s Kellen Moore, Alabama’s Mark Ingram, Ohio State’s Terrelle Pryor, and Stanford’s Andrew Luck.
The 20-year-old Robinson was restricted to under a quarter of the game against the Falcons right away absorbing a hard hit from Falcons freshman Ryland Ward.
Nevertheless, prior to the hit, Robinson already started a outstanding start in the game, as he completed four-of-four passes for 129 yards and made two rushing TDs to blow the match wide open in the initial period of Saturday’s 65-21 win over the Falcons.
With that type of performance, a large number of college football enthusiasts called Robinson as the next Michael Vick or Vince Young thanks to his strength to incorporate his double-threat ability.
In his initial four games, the Wolverine signal-caller completed 53-of-76 (71 percent) for 671 yards, four TD passes, and one interception. He rushed a nation’s high 688 yards on 79 carries and six rushing TDs.
Robinson’s 162 QB rating was by far and away the amongst the nation’s best right after five weeks of the regular-season.
Former Michigan and NFL quarterback Brian Griese even equated his passing game to New Orleans QB Drew Brees, who completed 70 percent of his passes to direct his team to a Super Bowl title.
Still, the season is too young for Robinson to become a shoo-in Heisman Trophy winner. Football fans still doubt his longevity heading deeper into the fall and his ability to lead Michigan over resilient and strong competitors within the Big Ten.
Robinson, who’s anticipated to recuperate from the negligible injury, will next have to deal with the Indiana Hoosiers in the Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Indiana.
Indiana also has a vulnerable and open defense, and just as before, nearly everybody expects Robinson to produce yet another “shake-and-bake” game this week.
