quietfan 233 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 "Right now, he's the No. 1 back in the south," ESPN analyst Lee Corso said. "I'd say he's top five right now for the Heisman. Anyone who leads the SEC and runs for 5 yards a carry is going to be right there."...but..but..but I thought Ken Darby...?

Guest Tigrinum Major Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Nice article. Further proof that Lou Holtz is a blithering old man. Best of luck to both the Irons brothers this fall and in the future. I found it interesting that John David Booty is a Heisman candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTiger 3,910 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 best thing fo kenny is that he goes in this season knowing he's the #1 man. If he can be as consistent as he was last year, for the entire season, he could put up 1600-1800 yards. With those numbers in the SEC he would be very hard to overlook for heisman consideration..

c-zoner 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Great article about Kenny...I didnt know that all that happened to him at SC The other day on campus Kenny was standing beside the tiger transit stop beside the Haley Center, introducing himself and shaking hands with everybody that walked by, but of course everybody knew who he was, so it was halarious and he was making everybody laugh. He really is a great guy...maybe cocky sometimes...but i think he has every right to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a whole lotta yards especially when we have other running backs who will get carries (especially with Lester back). It would be hard for someone to get enough carries and stay healthy enough to reach that plateau. Not saying its impossible, especially with the extra game, but I'd be happy with 1400 yards. If he gets 1500 he should go to NY, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was basing this on the fact that 4 games last year Kenny got less than 15 carries, and still was at 1300 yards. Being the clear NO. 1 back should ensure him more than 15 carries in every game, unless we just explode on a few teams, like say, Buffalo. or like he did against ball state last year. see below.

vatz22au 142 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Best quote from that article (about Tuberville): "This guy's had Ronnie Brown, 'Cadillac' Williams and he's still staying in touch with my dad, asking him how I was doing, even after I was at South Carolina. I knew from that that he really cared and could be trusted."Tuberville gave Irons a hug when he got there, David Sr. said. You cant beat the character that coach Tuberville displays.

When we play the cupcakes, Kenny probably will get his 100 or so then sit for the rest of the game. If I'm wrong, feel free to rub it in my face. I'll console myself with the fact the KI got 1600 1800 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saniflush 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Now wait a minute....Most of you are forgetting the cream puffs we have next year like Buffalo and UAT.....He could do it playing against competition like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgr4lfe 220 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I would rather see an offense aka a combo of the 2004 and 2005 teams. A prolific passing game, with a dual threat running attack (Irons and Lester). Not that another Heisman Trophy wouldn't be nice, but I really want a shot to play for the NC.

AUChizad 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 You guys are forgetting you have to go to either USC, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, or Ohio State to get a heisman. (in order that order) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 I really don't think KI will have a realistic shot at the heisman. He will not be enough of a "media darling". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUslug 1 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Irons has no shot at getting any type of awards cause we all know where the best running back in the SEC is, that's right Ken Darby over in T-Town. According to some of the bama boards, he is the best running back ever at Alabama! And if Darby doesn't win any awards you can't forget that stable of rb's down in Baton Rouge, I mean Justin Vincet has to get out of the dog house sometime. Note: For people who have low functioning brains ie. LSUSCOTT, the above post is loaded with sarcasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
