Some have taken the side of common sense, but many were infected with ignorance. As great a football player as Cam Newton is, he is nowhere near as good as Vince Young was as a college football player.

Ten months and three days later, the Texas Longhorns find themselves at an abysmal 4-5. That's definitely one BEVO-sized hangover.

Heisman Mark Ingram returned to the Alabama Crimson Tide this past Saturday. He definitely made a statement: 9 carries, 151 yards and 2 touchdowns.
