08:17 AM ET 09.18 | Three weeks into the college football season and Matt Barkley, Montee Ball and Denard Robinson are probably facing uphill Heisman climbs. West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith is the new No. 1 in my Heisman Watch. ... The pressure of being the Heisman front-runner will now fall upon Smith, who faces his first BCS opponent of the season when Maryland comes to Morgantown on Saturday. Can he handle it? Will the Mountaineers crumble under the glare of the spotlight? Voters will be watching very closely to see if this version of West Virginia under Dana Holgorsen is different from the Rich Rodriguez and Bill Stewart editions that couldn't handle expectations. Smith will be at the forefront of that focus.

The least FN could have done was to use a pic of Geno Smith. Racist.

WVU can't handle the expectations. But Maryland isn't the team to expose them.

Big XII conference play may turn into a murderers' row. There may well not be a whole lot of space between the top five, maybe six teams.

................. And I'm more inclined to accuse FN of "lazy-ass" than "racist".
