The next Heisman Winner?

#6 Paul Johnson 6'2" 194 LBS, Freshman Quarterback, Prince Georges Community College Owls.Quarterback Rating of 170.2 115 Completions, 224 Attempts. 2,261 Passing yards 28 Passing TD's. 282.6 Passing Yards per game. 80 Rushing Attempts, 548 Rushing Yards, 9 Rushing TD's, Longest Rush 70 yards, 9 rushes for more than 20 Yards.

So far, at week 10 it has been "that" type of season for Paul Johnson. He has put up miraculous numbers, and he has high talks as the First Heisman in SunBelt history. He is only a freshman and he is putting up these numbers, imagine that, a Freshman Heisman. A young kid, who just graduated high school, not to long ago, is taking the Heisman Trophy away from these sophomores, juniors and most importantly, seniors who are graduating, and going off to the NFL. This guy, who has only been in college for a couple months, not even a year, a guy who is probably taking introductory classes at school, but is introducing himself on the football field. A guy who still does not know where to go, and is asking people how to find this, or where to find that, and is finding numerous amount of receivers in the endzone, and finding himself in the endzone all the time. Paul Johnson, folks, is 18 years old. He has the chance of becoming the face of the SunBelt conference, the face of the NCAA, and he has the chance to earn the most prestigious award in NCAA History, the Heisman Trophy.

Catching up with the Owls in week 10 Year 5.

Ok readers, it's time to catch back up with those Owls, and get a preview of the end of this season as mostly all of my important games have been played. Lets first start with my non-conference games, which are always great games, against great teams.

First off, #9 Florida, who we took on in week 2. After being down 21-3 in the second quarter the Gators miracilously made a game out of this and defeated us 52-41. It was a tough one to swallow, after our two freshman runningbacks both fumbled twice today. Also our team was horrible in the second half, and was unable to finish this game and put away the Gators, but that is expected when 17 of your starters on both offense and defense, are freshman.

We did finally have some success in the top 25 after defeating the Alabama Crimson Tide 42-41 in overtime. Alabama, who came into this game losing 2 straight games had to save their National Title hopes, and mostly their season. It seemed that the Tide were bound to rebounding their season after a unbelievble 4th quarter, in which both teams combined for 28 points. After blocking a PGCC game winning field goal at the end of the game, the Crimson Tide took the ball up the field with no problem on the tired Owls defense, and score the first touchdown in the overtime. But their kicker, who had missed 2 previous field goals, and 1 extra point, pretty much botched another and the Tide were unable to pick up the extra point. Now with the Owls knowing the first part of winning this game was scoring a TD on a defense which had been specacular all game long, they also had the pressure of a 3 yard extra point kick to think about. The owls, after 7 plays finally got the ball in the endzone with 8 yard scamper by Freshman QB, and Heisman candidate leader Paul Johnson. 5 seconds later, the Owls, put the extra point through the uprights, and celebrated yet another defeat of Alabama, in Alabama, and the Crimson Tide suffered their 3rd straight loss.

Next up was former #2 LSU, now #1 LSU, as they had the chance to do what the Crimson Tide didn't, and that was to stop the Owls from gaining yet again, the end of the season momentum. But the Tigers at home, were not good enough to stop this unbelievable Freshman QB Paul Johnson, as he tore their defense apart, running and passing. Also our defense was a big part in winning this game, picking off their QB L.Butler 3 times, returning 1 for a TD, and not giving up any passing TD's. The Owls biggest stand was in the 4th quarter, right after they threw a pick at their own 43, they nailed Butler yet again, and intercepted the ball and later chewed the rest of the clock and took yet another victory.

Next up the now ranked Owls took on their SunBelt foe, University of UL Monroe Warhawks, decimating them 77-0. It was over before the second quarter as the Owls were up 28-0. This was a no contest as the Owls offense completely destroyed the Warhawks weak defense everytime they touched the ball. Starting QB P.Johnson had a passer rating of 217.5 for 164 yards and 4 TD's. After the starters were taken out at the end of the second quarter, backup runningback B.Wood was able to show his skills as he took the Warhawk defense to hell and back, racking up 117 BIG ONES and 4 TD's, taking the load off of freshman sensation Anthony "Jolt" Freeman who was hurt with a bruised shoulder. Freeman sat out both games against Alabama and LSU, but he just had to get in this game racking up 77 yards and 1 TD.

Next up for the Owls is Sunbelt opponent FAU as they come to Largo with hopes of knocking off the Owls. DOUBT IT!!!!

Owls enter this season, young, and with lots of holes to fill.

The owls, have re-amped their depth chart with some freshman and sophomore starters, but that is not so dandy when 89 percent of your starters, are either freshman, or sophomores with less that 1 season of playtime.

The offense is lead by freshman QB Paul Johnson who they used to replace last years QB Jonathan Johnson, who struggled to move the ball. P. Johnson brings talent, and leadership to our offense, and his play will determine if we win.

The Owls also have 5 new Freshman runningbacks, and with 3 in the top 3 of the depth chart, you know their is going to be a lot of fumbles, bad plays, and tough coaching ahead. But everybody is looking for Anthony Freeman, "Jolt" to really carve up a couple of defenses with his outstanding 4.29 speed. This guy is blistering fast, and he will have no problem running through, around, and over our Sun Belt defenses.

Then comes the our receiving core, who will be lead by Freshman Doug Brown, and Sophomore Melvin Thompson, who was last years favorite target catching a tide team high 36 passes for 663 yards and 5 TD's. He was tide in receiving with offensive powerhouse Tight End, Rasheed Scott, who was involved on numerous amount of big catches, who also caught 36 passes, for 808 yards and 5 TD's. I think those two are going to be a very important part, in developing our young QB into the start A.Daniels knows he is.

But the biggest problem this team has, is the offensive line. Now our new QB is lighting quick, and he can avoid the rush with his feet, but will his offensive line be able to at least give him the chance to drop back and scan the field for a mere 3 seconds before he is getting harassed? I don't think so. And that is because our big uglys on the offensive side are very sloppy. Lead by Center Joe Massey, which group of Juniors and Sophomores are going to have to pull it together and work hard to stop, the worst of defensive lines this year. But I still blame the recruiting, for not preparing our team with a good offensive line.

Next comes our sub-par defensive line. Lead by backup Junior Defensive Tackle and All-American Brandon Smith who had 6 sacks last year. But he takes on a new role, as backup because of freshman sensation B.J. Coe. Coe, one of the nations top DT's will take the starting job and he will be heavily assisted by DE Charlie Gipson another Freshman. These two will wreak havoc on opposing QB's all game long.

Then they are assisted by our top notch, athletic and lightning quick, Linebacking core. Seth Brown, Frank Tyler, Kirk Morgan, and Impact player Sam Jones are expected to sack, rattle, and hurt the opposing quarterback, and also pick him off. These guys are quick, on their feet, and in their recognition skills, they are a bend but don't break group, and have the potential to really make some great plays.

Then their is our secondary, which holds 7 of our teams freshman. 4 of them starters. This is the weak link on our defense, and we have a big chance of giving up a lot of passing yards, and big scoring opportunities with so many young guys on the defensive side of the ball. These guys, are inexperienced, talented, but they do not know what is coming when they face teams like Florida, Alabama, LSU, or even, our SunBelt opponents.

Even our starting Punter and Kicker are freshman, which will lead to some, unfinished drives.

In other words, we are a young football team, who has the chance to really blossom in the next two years, and be a powerhouse 3 years from now, but that is then, this is now, and we need wins now.

Sorry Readers

The PGCC blog has been down for a while, since the Penn State game, but I will have updates on that game, the rest of the 012 season, and the 013 season.
