Why would I be mad? I'm glad that ESPN is going to hype him like he's the best player ever, before he goes against us and puts up numbers like he did last year:

10-18, 97 Yards, 23 carries for 48 yards...7 offensive points.

Can you say Heisman?

Interesting stat for you but don't tell anyone else
are you ready for it?

Braxton Miller is 2-0 vs Wisconsin

I think it's more of a respect thing.

:L That was 2 years ago. He's become a much better passer.

He had a better completion percentage and QB rating than Miller did last year.

Much better QB rating? 141.6 to 140.5 is negligible at worst. Miller had a far better TD:INT ratio, and if you look at T-Mart's sophomore season and compare it to Braxton's it, well, doesn't even compare. There's a reason why Miller is being touted as a Heisman favorite while Martinez is a darkhorse at best.

Taylor gets the easier schedule. He also gets FAR AND AWAY the best receiving corps in the B1G and easily top 3 in the country. Veteran O-Line with a loaded RB group.

Nebraska will have one of the best offenses in the nation. He will barely have to improve on his numbers from last year to be a heisman contender.

no way Martinez wins a heisman. NO WAY.

All he has to do is eliminate turnovers. 5th year senior with 4 years of starting shouldn't have too much trouble with that. It's practically unheard of.

You're not taking into account the ridiculous amount of stat padder games Taylor will play well into the season. That's provided he isn't pulled in the 4th quarter of all these games:

Wyoming - stat padder
Southern Miss - stat padder
UCLA - stat padder
South Dakota State - stat padder
Illinois - stat padder
@ Purdue - stat padder
@ Minnesota - stat padder
Northwestern -stat padder

Then it goes:

@Michigan
Michigan St.
@Penn St.
Iowa


If he beats Michigan in November, he will go to New York.
