Andrew Luck for Heisman

David Shaw is definitely making a media push this week for Andrew Luck to win the Heisman. He's talking about it being more than just stats, rather to include everything ELSE that Luck brings to the table, most importantly his ability to call the right play.

Killer example of a play(s) call in the huddle, then optionally audible out of those at the line of scrimmage.

Then the description from Shaw: "There are three play calls in there," Shaw explained. "He calls that in the huddle, then decides which of those plays to get us to. If none of those plays are good against the look that he sees, he audibles and gets us to a fourth play that he calls at the line. In my nine years in the NFL, I never scouted a guy, never heard of a guy that did this much at the line of scrimmage."

Some facts that Shaw cited:

• Stanford leads the nation in fewest negative plays and credited that to Luck's ability to read the defense and call the right play and formation
• 26 touchdowns and zero interceptions, noting that Stanford leads the nation in red zone production because of Luck
• Luck is the only quarterback in college football history to go 3-0 against USC and Notre Dame in his career
