Wolfe's stats are hard to ignore, but my vote goes to Calvin Johnson of G. Tech. If they run the table and win the ACC (not hard to imagine), he's going to be a big part of the conversation by the end.
-
G Tech has Clemson (6-1) coming up away from home next week, and then Georgia (currently 5-1) to finish off the season. It'll be quite difficult, but they get props if they do. And with that, Calvin Johnson will get much more of the spotlight.
-
Do you still this this after Wolfe only picked up 25 yards against Western Michigan? I certainly don't...
-
He still leads the nation in Rushing, and will continue to do so...He's still a strong contender if he puts up good showings in the final 5 games, and brakes 2000 yards

Video of Adrian Peterson's NFL Single Game Rushing Record
There aren't enough superlatives in the book to describe Adrian Peterson's afternoon and rookie season thus far. I'm not sure what's was more stunning this afternoon, that AD had 296 yards rushing or that he had 256 more than LaDainian Tomlinson.

Rough Outing For Troy Smith
The Baltimore Sun's Jamison Hensley reports from Ravens camp that Troy Smith took the first team's snaps today.
And struggled.
In six plays, he was 1-for-5 passing with three interceptions and a fumbled snap. One of the interceptions was made by secondary coach Chuck Pagano, who was filling in as a defensive back.
Kyle Boller was 4-for-4 in the same drill but threw all short...

Bottom Line - Peterson and Berrian Need More Touches
The team is .500 for the first time this season, but after watching the offense put up plenty of yards and not a lot of points on Sunday is cause for concern. You had to like the fact they were able to rally late, and yes the pass interference call was one that could be debated, but the bottom line is they got it, and they were able to get the win with it.
Now the team is going...
