Diary of a Heisman Hopeful: Part 4
July 8, 2005 - When I saw Jrob on the turf, rolling around in pain and clutching his helmet, I thought my season was over. I've been handing him the ball so much these last few games, I'm sure he's getting a bit worn out, but I didn't expect to see him go down like that. Not when I'm a few good games away from posing for the press with my new trophy. Luckily for me it was just a pinched nerve and Jrob is back after missing only three quarters of action. Maybe this will teach me to spread the ball around a little bit more. Or maybe I'll take the risk to run up the numbers necessary to win, not only the Heisman, but the National Championship as well.
Not bad for a freshman.
With three games remaining in the season, UCLA is #3 in the country, behind only USC and Louisville. All three teams are undefeated with an 8-0 record, so it looks like my ability to play for the National Championship will come down to my final game of the season. My rivalry game against USC.
First things first, though, as I don't want to overlook the other opponents on my schedule. My next game is against Arizona, and my first possession, I hand the ball to Jrob. It looks like there's an opening off tackle, but the linebacker blows through the block and there is a fierce collision. Both players go down hard and there is an injury. This time, though, it was Jrob who delivered the punishment as Arizona's linebacker is the one who needs help off the field. (read more)

In case you missed it, this is the second part to the Diary of a Heisman hopeful story on IGN posted here.
This article was found in its entirety on IGN.
June 17, 2005 - I'm looking around my dorm room, and I see something new. It says picture and it's hanging on my computer monitor. I zoom in for a close-up, and I'm like "ugh!" I hope that's a picture of Jrob's sister. You'd think with the games I've been having lately, I could find a better looking piece of polygon. I'm going to use this as motivation.
And I'll need it.
Game three is going to be a tough one. #5 Oklahoma is coming to town. They're 2-0 this season, and I know this is going to be one of my toughest games of the year. Later in the season, I also face #22 Cal, #21 Arizona State, and #1 USC. And people used to think the Pac-10 was soft.
I'll show Oklahoma who's soft.
Before the game starts, I see that I'm named one of UCLA's key players. Not bad for my third game. But I don't want to be a key player, I want to be a Heisman winner.
I lose the coin toss and Oklahoma elects to receive the ball. I'm surprised that Oklahoma tries throwing the ball on first down, but I'm able to sack the quarterback for a five yard loss. This forces second and long, and I sniff out a pass to the halfback and swat it down. On third down, the Sooners attempt a deep out, but the receiver is unable to get a foot in bounds and they're forced to punt.
I'm just surprised that they didn't hand the ball off to Adrian Peterson. He's the best running back in all of college football, but luckily for the Bruins, he didn't get a carry on the first series.
I, in turn, handed the ball off three straight times to Jrob, gaining 33 yards in the process. I then go for a pass, but my quarterback was hit and fumbled. I recovered the ball, and decided to run an option to the left. I pitch the ball out to Jrob about five yards past the line of scrimmage and he takes off all the way down to the one. I hand it to him one more time for the touchdown.
