through. i know what i know. i am comfortable in my mind that the charges that people are saying in the things that they're saying that he did i do not think that he did them. >>gary: ok, and once again we always make the statements from 3,000 mi. away. and these pro players are often targets for people who think it is a quick payday. i will accuse him of something and they will settle out of court to keep their names out of the headlines. the accusation is then he made the guy big for his life. i always hear on the side of the coach from the standpoint of if this guy had to be totally convinced otherwise he would not the battlefield. plus they lost 34 to 14 so that did not help much. so anyway, the player is not scheduled to be arraigned until mid january. so that

he can finish out the regular-season. now the johnny unitas award goes to the nation's best quarterback and the big question is will he win the heisman trophy they will announce on saturday. he was a heavy favorite going in, but now there has been a run of people who have made late season charges. stiff arm .com has a baylor player currently ahead of look. >> i was honestly very excited is a great trick to york. i remember last year was a great experience it was. to be able to go again, i am very excited i am excited to me the other guys and excited to represent the university. >>gary: he is such a good kid he never comes out and says yes i would like to win. now stanford vs. oklahoma state in they will

yesterday. >> and i felt that in order for me to play the way i knew i could play i had to get fully fit. i had to get healthy i had to get to where i was strong and explosive again. that was so i could practice and basically it starts with that. >>gary: jackie are you a tiger woods fan? >>jacqueline: yes, but i am afraid to say it.
