Somehow I doubt that.

Could it be McGahee?

Dammit. I've been a lazy fan the last few weeks.

No one yet (I guess I have a good question here) ok here's 2 hints
1) He's on a below .500 team
2) He's in the AFC West

I just read an article by Bill Simmons, and I think I have the answer. I would feel like I cheated, though, so I will wait a little bit.

That pretty much gives it away Cheesemore. San Diego and Denver are both over .500, and Kansas City has nobody.

It's Justin Fargus of the Oakland Raiders.

Correct, I thought that was a relatively easy question, I didn't think it would take that long
Justin rushed for 591 yards in those weeks (Ryan Grant was #2, he ran for about 560 yards)
You're up MM10

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 9:45 pm

Actually Cheesemore, Grant is the leader since week 8. Where did you get this question from? Grant has 717 rushing yards while Fargas only has 648...

Might want to recheck, i looked to ESPN for this one...

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/statistics?stat=rush&season=2&year=2007

Just add up the rushing totals since week 8.

I think it may depend where you end the stats. Cheesemore said from week 8-13, so that may be where the confusion is coming from.

Anyways, next question, should be pretty easy:
In one of the closest races in Heisman history, what Quarterback lost by only 76 points in the 2000 Heisman voting?

Good guess, but nope, it was not Michael Vick.

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 11:11 pm

Peyton?

misterman10 · Post by **misterman10** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 11:26 pm

Maybe I was wrong, I guess its not as easy as I thought it would be, as the guy's name is fairly unknown.

And nope, it wasn't Peyton.

FiveThreeEight · Post by **FiveThreeEight** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 11:31 pm

I know he played for Oklamhoma. I can't remember his damn name!

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 1:18 am

Would you perhaps be thinking of Jason White?

got tonkaed · Post by **got tonkaed** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 1:24 am

i think jason white is too late for it to be the answer....seemingly if its an oklahoma guy it might be josh heupel or however you spell that last name of his.

FiveThreeEight · Post by **FiveThreeEight** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 1:32 am

It's not White. The guy had a weird last name. DAMN IT!!!

im about 100000 percent sure the oklahoma qb you are looking for is heupel

so i guess he probably finished second.

FiveThreeEight · Post by **FiveThreeEight** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 1:45 am

That's it! It was on the tip of my tongue. I remember him because of his name. My friend's and I went on for about a week cracking jokes about his name.

got tonkaed · Post by **got tonkaed** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 1:48 am

eh ill post my question now then, and if heupel turns out to be wrong, feel free to make fun of me....

Name one of the few fighters who successfully held belts in three of the orignal 8 boxing divisions, specifically middleweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight. I can think of 2 specifically and probably a third on a technicality.
