I really feel for Dennis Dixon.
In case you missed, the Oregon quarterback is set to go under the knife to repair a torn ACL suffered Thursday night against Arizona.
What's lost? Well, Thursday he kissed the championship game goodnight. If Brady Leaf looks as bad as he did Thursday, he kissed the Pac-10 championship goodbye (Oregon isn't even in first place at this point).
But most importantly, he kissed college football's biggest honor goodbye. It's a shame he didn't bow out of the Heisman race the same way that Brian Brohm, Darren McFadden (still arguable), DeSean Jackson and Ray Rice did.
Did he kiss goodbye millions of NFL dollars? Well, I pegged him as a first-day pick. His numbers this year earned him a shot in the NFL as a project for some team. Does the injury drop him to second day? Does he play baseball?
Either way, Dixon was a good ambassador for the Ducks. Campus Confidential wishes him the best.
