They are inherent but I firmly believe in the smart voter. I believe the smart voter will look further than that. I didn't lead the nation in yardage. Heupel's signature play came against Nebraska on Oct. 28. He threw a 35-yard touchdown strike to Curtis Fagan against the wind, while backpedaling, off the wrong foot, in the face of a Husker blitz.
Opponents call it impossible.
He is very comparable to Danny Wuerffel. The style points are just so-so but he wins, wins big games. Maybe it has faded from memory that Heupel enjoyed perhaps the greatest month ever of any college quarterback. Oklahoma's October included consecutive victories over Texas, Kansas State and Nebraska. In those three games, Heupel threw 98 passes, four touchdowns and only one interception.
