still wasn’t enough to keep up with Georgia. Essentially it was a win for both of them even though Jerrel’s twitter page did not agree. At the end of the season Georgia finishes 10-2 as they win the outback bowl but somehow Jerrel gets robbed of the heisman as they give it to his running back teammate with over 2,000 rushing yards.

The only thing children are actually receiving when they get a participation award is false hope. Children should not receive…
