Pat White is back in a big way. After a nearly perfect performance in a wet, hostile environment (hostile for one quarter at least) in New Jersey, Pat White proved that he is the premiere player on the WVU offense. As much as I love Slaton, White is the man that makes it all happen.
Here is a screen capture of the ESPN Rank ‘Em Heisman Watch Poll. Looks like everyone else is starting to look at White and Slaton again… #2 and #5 baby!!! Just last week they were way down if not out of this race.

It’s crazy how college football works. Crazy hype pre-season, mix up in mid season, and then everything kind of resets. That’s what makes it fun! Here’s an exerpt from a great article from ESPN:

“It was a great all-around performance,” White said from a cramped RU field-hockey locker room that doubled as the visitor’s postgame interview area. “Everybody executed today and did the job. We’ve just got to continue to do it. We made plays. When the ball was in a playmaker’s hands, we made plays.

“Football is a team sport. … Heisman … I’m more worried about championships.”

When White finally emerged from Rutgers Stadium in his blue and gold WVU warm-up to board the team bus and begin the trip back to Morgantown, the late-afternoon sky had cleared and was painted with a blue backdrop and a gold sun.

“I’m as good as I need to be … as good as I can be right now,” White said. “I’m getting close. I felt better today than I think I have all season.”

That’s bad news for upcoming defenses, and it may be more than enough to propel WVU to a Big East title and the corresponding January BCS game — with a detour in New York for White for a trophy ceremony.

Don’t know about you, but White gets my vote and he has 4 more games to prove his worth. See y’all in NYC.
