2016 Dark Horse Heisman Candidates
Bruins Nation

Welcome back to another great year of College Football. As I write this, we are only 1 day into the season and have already had some exciting drama. The Tennessee Volunteers pulled off an overtime win against Appalachian State, a team the Vols should have wiped out. Thats the beauty of College Football, anything can happen. This also holds true when it comes to a player earning the Heisman trophy. Everybody knows the typical candidates but there are a lot of great competitors this year. Everybody has a chance to win and there are some dark horse candidates you should know about.

1.) Josh Rosen

Josh Rosen was fantastic last year. He plays with a pro style and has a great pocket presence. He looks like he already plays in the NFL and he is only a sophomore. I think if his supporting cast does him well, he has a good chance to compete for the Heisman.

2.) Greg Ward Jr.

Greg Ward Jr. is a throwing option and always a running option. He can burn you both ways and his team is heading in a great direction going into the 2016 season. He is the leader of Houston and they can make a push for the playoff as well with a successful season.

3.) Chad Kelly

Ole Miss has lost a lot of the pieces that made them a really good team last year. Treadwell was Kelly's number one target and Tunsil protected him to make those plays. Kelly does not have either of those available to him this year so it will be interesting to see what he is really made of.

4.) Luke Falk

Luke Falk is just a pure gun slinger for the Cougars. He has a strong accurate arm and he knows exactly where to put the ball. If he puts up great numbers consistently, I think he has a great shot to join the Heisman race if not compete for the trophy.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
