He ranks eighth in FCS in passing efficiency (155.05), and is the only freshman in the top 18 of the rankings. In seven games as a starter and one as a sub, he has completed 63.6 percent of his passes for 1,362 yards, 14 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Defense or Offense????
Norrise is offense. Our DB blew any awards with screw-ups during the last two games. Our LB Davis, on the other hand, continues to be award-worthy.

152-264 57.6% 2,037 yards 18 TD 7 int...doesn't have the rushing stats though.
Oh, and he's played multiple games with 3 of the top 6 WR missing at least 1 one game....Including a game where we started our #3 WR as our #1 and had a 5'8 starting CB playing WR

More snaps and yards, but not better stats. Adams has a significantly better completion % and efficiency rating.

Higher yards per completion, better TD/INT ratio (only 1 more INT on 100 more throws)
Keep in mind Adams has shared playing time in most of those games that he started in, minus the MSU and Cal Poly games. When you factor in his rushing yards, I think he has a fairly good chance to win this.

If Price could ever get that first pose in stride, he'd remind me of that great Rams receiver Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch. He looks like a guy ANYBODY would love to have....

Not a chance in Hell.
He might have a chance at the Payton Award.

I would thought you would have said this about him winning the Payton award the 1-AA version of the Heisman as opposed to the Rice award instead.Has any frosh ever been nominated for the Payton Award???

Needs ~45 yards to break Randy Moss's freshman FCS receiving record.
Adams had a fairly pedestrian day, wasn't very accurate. 9/17 for 142, no TDs or INTs, 38 yards rushing on 5 attempts and a TD. His numbers would've been a lot better had Kauf and Herd caught some balls that hit them in the hands.
