Chuba, Still Great — Especially Compared to His Competition
King stay king.

OSU’s media relations department send out several emails this week — as they should — touting Chuba Hubbard as a Heisman contender. I normally don’t just pull straight from these press releases but as I read through and started laughing out loud and snorting before I was halfway done, I figured it was good enough to share with you guys.
Here we are. The goat vs. the non-goats. Hubbard against Jonathan Taylor of Wisconsin and J.K Dobbins of the Ohio State University.

The one that really made me chortle was the percentage of team’s offensive output — 35 percent! And most of that was pre-Tylan injury. Against WVU last week, it jumped to 68 percent of OSU’s output.
If OSU beats OU and Chuba runs wild, he’ll bein New York ahead of these other two cats. And even if he doesn’t and they don’t, he’ll probably still deserve it.
