00:00A Boise State running back, of course, Ashton Gente has rushed for 200 plus yards, four
00:10times in the first six games this year.
00:14This kid has been unbelievable, and you sent me this today, and I thought it would be interesting
00:18to show, and that is, of course, what has he done compared to some of the other guys
00:24that have won the Heisman as a running back through their first six games?
00:28Look at these numbers.
00:29He's got 1,200, 1,248 yards.
00:32Henry had 665, Ingram had 659, Bush had 761, look at the tutties, 17 rushing touchdowns.
00:40Look at these guys, 10, 7, and 9.
00:43The numbers are staggering when you compare them with other guys who have won, but the
00:49caveat, Scotty, which will be the one with the voters all year, because he's going to
00:53keep putting up the video game numbers, the problem is he plays for Boise State, and he's
00:59not playing.
01:00Like, look at those guys on Alabama, who are they playing against, SEC competition?
01:05He's not playing for a Texas or a Georgia, that's going to be his issue as we get later
01:10into the year.
01:11You can't deny what he's doing is special.
01:15No one's suggesting that it isn't.
01:18It's just, and no disrespect, because Boise's got a good football team, but look who they
01:23play.
01:24I mean, that's just bottom line, and you can say whatever you want out there in Boise,
01:29you just have to come to grips with the fact that it's the reality of it.
01:32But look, if he, listen, if this guy racks up another dime, they might very well give
01:39it to him.
01:40I mean, if this guy puts up another dime, he's already, I mean, if this guy puts up
01:432,400, 2,500 yards, it's over.
01:47If he doubles that, he's got six more games.
01:50If he doubles that, and it's 2,500, and 30 touchdowns, let's just say, let's say he doesn't
01:57even get the same pace.
01:58He only gets 30.
01:59We'll just give it to him.
02:00That's hard to ignore.
02:01But these voters have now made it more of an MVP award than a who's the best player
02:07in college football award.
02:08So I think that's also, yeah, that's exactly, especially if Miami goes up to the MVP award,
02:15if he loses, he'll lose all his years.
