I'm not saying Quinn should win. Smith led OSU to very impressive wins over Texas and Michigan, (something Brady couldn't do this year) but to say he is only getting attention because his a golden domer is not exactly a fair assessment of the situation.

the only thing impressive about his #'s are the lack of int's..
troy smith's offense completely annialated opponents to the point where the game was out of hand by the 1st half....

Yes, Quinn did have good games against Army (3-9), Air Force (4-8), and Navy (9-3). Yes, Navy was 9-3. While ND was beating up on the service schools, Ohio State was taking on the all-impressive MAC. They did handle Northern Illinois and Bowling Green while taking time to test their clout against Big East powerhouse Cincinnati. Smith's other impressive wins included Indiana (5-7), Minnesota (6-6), and Northwestern (4-8). Let us not forget the Heisman clinching performance against the stout Illini defense (2-9) where he had 123 passing yards with 0 touchdowns and 1 INT.
Oh, and that Penn State team that you said was garbage....ND put up 41 points on them. OSU had 28.
Everyone plays cupcakes! The point is that Smith won the big games and he deserves the Heisman for that simple fact. I think Brady Quinn is a better QB, he just didn't have the o-line or the running game this year. Put him on a team like Ohio State, and this is not even close.
