It's interesting to note that Gerhart rushed for at least 100 yards against every opponent save two this year. The Deacons held Gerhart to 82 yards on 17 carries. Oregon State also limited Gerhart to 96 yards.<br /><br />If Gerhart should win, he would become the fourth Heisman Trophy winner to have faced the Demon Deacons during the year he won the trophy. In 2000, Florida State’s Chris Weinke completed 23 of 36 passes for 324 yards and five touchdowns in FSU’s 35-6 win at then-Groves Stadium. In 1993, the Seminoles’ Charlie Ward completed 13 of 20 passes for 125 yards. Army’s Doc Blanchard had a 52-yard interception return in a 54-0 win over Wake Forest in 1945. Blanchard would go on to win the Heisman Trophy that season.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303371476417288305.post-25293505073011892702009-12-03T15:06:00.002-05:002009-12-03T15:10:15.433-05:00A Little This, a Little ThatWake Forest redshirt freshman receiver Chris Givens leads the nation's freshmen in touchdown catches this season. Givens has eight TD grabs this year, the most-ever by a Wake Forest redshirt freshman. He also ranks 32nd in the nation overall in touchdown catches.<br /><br />Givens' 8 is the most by a freshman in Division I. Toledo's Eric Page has seven and Alex Torres of Texas Tech and Alshon Jeffery of South Carolina have six.<br /><br />Also, the Sporting News released its list of the top 50 players in the NBA. And, as expected, Chris Paul and Tim Duncan are among the top six. Kobe is No. 1 followed by Lebron, Dwayne Wade and Dwight Howard. TD is fifth and CP3 is sixth. That's a nice plug for Wake Forest!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
