At Big Noon Kickoff two games ago on Fox, Heisman winner Mark Ingram asked Dante Moore to strike the Heisman pose.
Moore wouldn't do it. "I'm too humble," he said. Though making it to New York and claiming the trophy are far, far down his checklist, Moore has a spectacular opportunity to move up the Heisman leaderboard in the next three weeks.
Week Four leader John Mateer of Oklahoma injured his wrist Saturday in a win over Auburn. He faces surgery Wednesday and could be out a month.
While true college football fans don't celebrate an injury to any player, let alone one of the game's most incandescent stars, Mateer's misfortune opens up the field for college football's most coveted individual award.
