FOURTH QUARTER: IF YOU DON’T GIVE THEM THE HEISMAN, AT LEAST GIVE THEM SOME LOVE
The Dash salutes four players who are having fabulous seasons that almost certainly will not result in winning the Heisman Trophy, but still are worth recognizing and celebrating. The list:
Jaret Patterson (31), Buffalo running back. Undersized and insanely productive, the junior running back generously listed at 5-foot-9 is on a historic tear. His 301 yards against Bowling Green was the highest single-game rushing total in the nation this season—and then he obliterated that Saturday with 409 yards and a record-tying eight touchdowns against previously undefeated Kent State.
