Here is why Brad Banks should win the Heisman trophy: Brad Banks has the highest QB Rating the the nation (166.0). He has 30 total touchdowns and only 4 interceptions. His stats are much better than Dorsey's, Palmer's, and Leftwich's. Plus he adds the extra element of being able to run the ball which none of those quarterbacks can do. Banks also is averaging 12+ yards a carry on planned runs. Johnson, Clarrett, and McGahee can't even compare to that. Plus Banks is a great team leader, although this is his first year starting he is a 5th year senior. He has the composure and the leadership to step up in big game situations. Many voters have said that they're not voting for Banks because Dorsey is 35-1 in his carreer but Banks has led his team to an 11-1 record and an 8-0 in the conference along with a Big Ten championship. Iowa has never finished 8-0 in the Big Ten until now! Brad Banks is clearly the best player and the best leader in the nation. These stats and facts should prove it. Banks can be the greatest Heisman story ever told, "A player many hadn't heard of at the beginning of the season comes out of nowhere, puts together the best stats in the nation, and leads Iowa to it's first 8-0 conference season ever." That's exactly what he's done and he's taking his fantastic season all the way to Pasadena and maybe even Tempe. Brad Banks is the best player in the nation, stats don't lie.
