Paul Ryan might be a hiker and marathon-runner extraordinaire, but no one would confuse him for a college football aficionado.

Still, he keeps finding himself in positions where he tries to display that (lack of) football knowledge and it ends up being an embarrassing moment.

This week is very special for the Heisman race — it's the first time two legitimate Heisman contenders will face each other.

West Virginia's Geno Smith will square off against Kansas State's Collin Klein in a battle of two of the nation's most exciting quarterbacks. Klein will look to keep the Wildcats on top of the Big 12 and contending for a BCS bowl while Smith will be trying to rebound from last week's thrashing at the hands of Texas Tech.

This game could have major implications on the results of the Heisman race. Smith has been the frontrunner all season, but can't afford another rough game. Klein has been pretty steady and could supplant Smith with a stellar performance.

As for the rest of our Heisman candidates — they're highlighted in pink today for Breast Cancer Awareness Month — all of them have the ability to make up ground against their various opponents this weekend.

We thought this Heisman race was over, but it's about to get pretty interesting. Smith holds his bronze-statue-hoisting fate in his own hands.

Northwestern is 6-1 for the first time since 2008 and players attribute the strong start to one thing — nap time.

A little humor for everyone's Wednesday.

Today's Video of the Day comes for the comedy masterminds Key & Peele from Comedy Central. They spoof a college all-star game. Well, not the game so much as the intros. Funny stuff.

(US Presswire)Last week, an unnamed pizza delivery guy claimed that Amy Fickell, wife of Ohio State defensive coordinator Luke Fickell, got him fired for making comments about the Buckeyes' defense.

"I said, we really should improve on our tackling because it's really bad right now and she had laughed," the delivery guy told Fox28.

Fickell and his family have refuted claims-- through an athletic department spokesman -- that they got the pizza guy canned, and Monday, Fickell offered his first public thoughts on the situation.

"Nothing needs to be said. Remember this, our whole philosophy is don't whine, don't complain, don't make excuses," Fickell said. "I think I said it a million times last year. My 5-year-olds know that, my wife knows that, we're all in the same boat, we would never whine and we would never complain.

"I actually agree with him."

Through the first half of the season, there have been two quarterbacks that have inspired that "Wow" factor during nearly every game this season -- West Virginia's Geno Smith, and Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, a freshman, who has taken the SEC by storm.

The difference between the two is that Smith is currently the Heisman frontrunner and Manziel is an afterthought for the award. But should that be the case?

Oregon and Arizona State will meet Thursday in a matchup of the Pac-12's top teams.

And while the teams themselves have been relatively quiet when it comes to smack talk, the mascots have been throwing YouTube grenades on each other as Arizona State mascot, Sparky, has been trying to undermine Puddles' campaign for President of the United States.

No, seriously.

Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron has an affinity for ink — I mean, have you seen his tattoo?

So when a young woman named Charlotte came up to him and asked him to autograph her breasts, and Sharpie appeared and McCarron was more than happy to oblige.
