Forde-Yard Dash: Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel closer to Michael Vick or Tim Tebow? (Yahoo! Sports)
Forty names, games, teams and minutiae making news in college football (antidepressants sold separately in Tuscaloosa): JOHNNY FOOTBALL: FUN TO WATCH, HARD TO DEFINE Johnny Manziel (1) is the delicious new flavor of the month in college football, an unconventional talent who did what no player has done the past two years: bring the mighty Alabama (2) defense to its knees. In the process of watching the Texas A&M quarterback carve up the Crimson Tide for 345 yards of total offense and two touchdown passes, America began grasping for the proper comparison to previous dynamic quarterbacks we’ve seen. He was compared to 1980s Boston College hero Doug Flutie (3) , but that’s not right. Manziel has Flutie’s improvisational flair, but he’s bigger and certainly seems faster. Tim Tebow bows down while playing against LSU. (AP) He was compared to former Florida Gator Tim Tebow (4) , but that’s not right either.

Ohio State coming around to Miller for Heisman
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has refused for weeks to even discuss quarterback Braxton Miller ‘s Heisman Trophy chances. Now Meyer, who coached a Heisman winner at Florida named Tim Tebow , is joining a growing number who think the Buckeyes sophomore might just be a viable contender for the award. Miller is just the third Big Ten quarterback to top 1,000 rushing yards in a season, and he currently ranks 11th in the country and first in the conference at 121 a game. When the stats are backed by a team with a spotless 9-0 record and a No. 6 ranking, that adds more weight to the argument. Ohio State officials are now looking into ways to promote Miller’s candidacy as the school’s potential eighth Heisman winner.
