Regaining the edge: McElroy vs. Snead

If any quarterback in the SEC has looked like a Heisman Trophy candidate through five games, it’s McElroy.

And if it’s not him, it’s his counterpart down south in the state of Alabama -- Auburn’s Chris Todd.

I won't post the entire column, but suffice it to say, Mr. Low acknowledges the performance of Greg McElroy (to this point) as being far superior to "Heisman worthy" Jevan Snead of Mississippi. Not that I, or anyone else, needed confirmation from ESPN, but McElroy's numbers are damned impressive, especially considering he had never started a college game 'til this season.

There's a long way to go, and again, I could care less about the Heisman Trophy. But, if you look at the numbers, #12 has to be among the candidates. He may fall flat on his face down the road, but I doubt it. The kid is so much more in control of the Tide offense than any QB in years, it's ridiculous.

The Heisman? Who cares. Another national title is all any UA fan wants.
