I talked today to Desmond Howard, who won the 1991 Heisman Trophy at Michigan, about 2008 Heisman winner Sam Bradford and about the coach at Howard's alma mater, Rich Rodriguez:
"I thought that Sam was the most deserving of all the college athletes this past season," Howard said. "It rewards you for your body of work and Sam, even in the one loss he had to Texas, still played an outstanding game. So he had an outstanding season throughout. So I thought it was well deserved. He deserved the trophy."
As for the Michigan program, Howard said, "The state of the program right now seems to be at its lowest point. It's been the worst football season in the history of the University of Michigan. So it can only go up."
When I asked what kind of team Michigan will have in 2009, Howard said, "I do not know."
