Round table: Is Ward’s play worthy of more national attention?

In this week’s round table, The Cougar sports staff takes a break from diagnosing the games to take a look at the Cougars’ season so far and the Cougars’ positioning for a possible conference title run.

There’s been hype building around Greg Ward, Jr. as a Heisman contender. Do you think he has what it takes?

Sports editor Bryce Dodds: So far, Ward has played like a Heisman contender, by the stats. He’s been running well, throwing well, shown poise in the pocket and been very efficient in his throws. The two things I worry about are his accuracy on his long throws, which can be spotty at times, and the perception problem UH has as a Group-of-Five team.
