The attack on Rondale Moore probably should not have been counted.

Purdue is about to upset No. 23 Boston College and a potential 1 to 3 start of the season. Their offensive firepower throughout the game was largely thanks to the Boilermakers' new receiver, Rondale Moore. His strengths so far are sufficient to allow some to wonder if he should participate in the discussion as a Heisman candidate. Of course, if he continues to slice such defenses, this status will certainly become more than a "fringe".

One thing that Heisman voters should try to ignore is the way this incredibly incredible game would probably not have counted. After absorbing the initial shot of Will Harris, of Boston College, Moore seems to recover quickly and lose 60 yards in the end zone. But did he really recover? A second look tells us no, he did not do it.

Under normal circumstances, or if you are a supporter of British Columbia, this could be another infuriating example of the horror of the university that ruins the sport. Instead, this allowed a freshman to flourish in the national spotlight and launched one of the first upheavals of the year, which is good.
