McFadden Invited to New York - Razorback runner Darren McFadden received an invite from the Downtown Athletic Club in New York City as a Heisman Trophy finalist. His main competition is Tim Tebow of Florida.
Tebow was on fire this season and he deserves the invite, but I think McFadden should win because he finished second last year and improved his rushing stats this year in spite of two sub-100 yard rushing games. His offensive line failed him against Auburn and he finished with 43 yards. Ouch! Another reason McFadden's Heisman stock faltered was because of the Hogs' win-loss record. Hey, McFadden can't help it if the defense gives up fourth quarter leads in three consecutive SEC losses. He can't help it if the offense plays flat against Tennessee.
I hope the Heisman voters give McFadden the benefit of a doubt.
