Congrats go out to Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith for his Heisman trophy nomination. Which we are mentioning only in passing, because there's something way more important going on:
[Third nominee Darren] McFadden, a sophomore, finished the regular season with a school-record 1,558 yards rushing, scored 16 touchdowns and led Arkansas to the Southeastern Conference title game. The running back is the first player in Arkansas history to be named a finalist for the award.
The best part? McFadden's going to be back next year! Go Hogs!
Troy Smith won (and by the second largest margin* in Heisman history). Go Bucks! The Ohio State University wins again! 7 times total.
Now, the good news for Arkansas? McFadden finished 2nd ahead of Brady Quinn, which puts you in good stead for nex year.
