Here's the Update......since it's been a while:
Even though young Ace was sidelined for a few games, the team, stepped up in his absence. Not only did they bring another National Championship home, but they got the Heisman for Mike Hart, Michigan's RB.
Hart, decided to leave school early, leaving on a high note....hence left the team.
Ace's Jr year statistically was amazing, throwing over 50 TD passes, and was invited to the Heisman presentation, but didn't win. I think the voting was rigged, because it really came down to the last game of the season. Young Ace couldn't lead Michigan (ranked #2) to victory over the hated Ohio State Buckeyes (ranked #1). With under a minute left in the game, Michigan's coach made a bone head play....instead of playing prevent defense, he blitzed. One missed tackle later, the game was tied and going to OT. In OT, it came down to trying to kick a field goal to send the game into a second OT. With the winds at 30 mph, a kicker that was untested all season, the decision was to go for the win on 4th down. The pass fell incomplete, the game was lost, and probably the Heisman was lost all on the same play.
Young Ace now is now in his final year and this is his last chance. Heisman or no Heisman, he still has two national championships to his name and the school records for passing yards and TD's. If nothing else, he should be very rich after draft day comes around.
(No, you can't have my vid card Non...but after Young Ace signs his contract I'll see what I can do)
