Love seemed ok coming out of the tent at the Oregon game. My guess is we'll slow-play him. If he's not needed (which he shouldn't be), then I'd play Scarlett and Speights and save him for the end-of-season gauntlet. Of course, this might totally sink his chances of winning the Award That Shall Not Be Named. But maybe he'll be runner-up, as is tradition!!!

Not an expert in what causes someone to win or not win the H.eisman, but I have to believe that if Love kicks butt against the Washington schools and also ND, whether he plays or doesn't play against a one-win team won't affect his chances much.

Unfortunately, it can't work that way.  Most of the voters will have cast their ballots by Halloween, based exclusively on pre-season ESPN promo packages, as supplemented by who(m?)ever seems to be playing best for Alabama when they vote [insert gratuitous Damien Harris reference here].
