Heismans? In Berkeley? Moooooooo!

Cal has what some people are calling a legitimate Heisman candidate, and it's not Marshawn Lynch (605 yards on 86 carries with 4 rushing TDs; his 7.0 yards per carry is 7th in the country, and his 605 rushing yards are 14th nationwide).

The shocking news is that it isn't DeSean Jackson, either, he of the eight-game TD reception streak dating back to last year and 8 receiving TDs in six games so far this year (and oh, yeah, two gorgeous punt returns for touchdowns so far).

Nope, the shocker is that Gene Menez thinks Nate Longshore, even after his abysmal game at Tennessee, is a contender. And the stats back him up: 102-157 for 1410 yards, 17 TDs and 5 INTs. The guy is a first-year starter (the best thing he had to say about the Minnesota game was that it was "fun" to finally play in the fourth quarter of a game: he broke his ankle in the first half of the opener last year, and was pulled at Tennessee), and looks like a #1 draft pick.
