Henig for Heisman


in what can only be described as the most painful performance in recent memory, Mississipi State Quarterback, Michael Henig tossed six (yes FUCKING SIX) interceptions last night to kick off the 2007 season. honestly i thought Brandon Cox 4 picks against UGA were bad, but this was an epic display of futility. i think after the 3rd one i'd just have stuck to running the ball 3 times and punting. his final numbers for the night 11/28, 120 yard, 0 touchdowns, 6 interceptions. i don't even know what kind of QB rating that is. i assume -10000. and this kid's dream was to play for Auburn?!?! granted he's a midget with a tiny little arm, but he played hard...despite getting no help and being blitzed constantly. he took a couple of big shots and at times it reminded me of being 8 years old and trying to play football with all the 12 and 13 year old kids in the neighborhood....it only ends in tears and running home to mom when Ricky lays you out after they throw you a pass over the middle. poor guy.

LSU looked pretty spotty in the first half. Matt Flynn played OK, but i'm not sold on them being a title contender just yet. without Henig tossing up freebies all night this game might have been respectable. instead it was 45-0, i still predict that Flynn will falter at some point in the season and Ryan Perriloux ends up taking over for him. both QBs played well enough to beat most of the teams they'll face, but then again i think i could play well when i've got LSU's defence. and remember they did win the national title with Matt Mauck.
