BLYTHE FOR HEISMAN

"I went up to Coach on the sidelines after regulation and said I think I can make a play," said Blythe, Iowa State's career touchdown leader. "We hadn't really tested them deep and thrown it up for grabs, and I think I can win that battle every time."

"I think I can make a play." That's the understatement of the year. We need to throw Todd's way 15 times a game. Minimum. And three or four of those should be deep balls. He's the rare receiver who comes along and makes defenses change their gameplan to stop him. A Randy Moss of college football. But if you don't throw him the ball, it's like eating at McDonald's when you have a $50 gift certificate to Outback sitting in your pocket. Let's hope Mac takes advantage of his talent.
