Johnson granted sixth season at Eastern Washington
NCAA Football Betting Lines
02/07/2012 - Cheney, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Eastern Washington linebacker Zach Johnson has been granted a medical waiver by the NCAA for a sixth season, Eagles head coach Beau Baldwin announced Tuesday.
Johnson has lost 19 games due to a chronic knee injury, all 12 games of the 2009 season and the final seven games last season, when he was a senior co- captain.
The 6-foot-1, 215-pound Johnson, from Tumwater, Wash., earned All-Big Sky Conference second-team honors in 2010 when he started all 15 games of EWU's FCS championship-winning campaign. He has 260 tackles in his career.
"It's exciting and we're happy for Zach," Baldwin said. "He's worked hard since the day he got here and has been a hard worker all his life. He deserved to get a sixth year based on the injuries he suffered and what he's gone through. We couldn't be happier to have Zach back with us."
Eagles wide receiver Tyler Hart also is filing a similar appeal for a sixth season. He has been approved by the Big Sky Conference and needs approval from the NCAA.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
| Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame) Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma) Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State) Michael Bush (RB, Louisville) Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia) Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) Chris Leak (QB, Florida) Mike Hart (RB, Michigan) Ted Ginn (WR, Ohio State) Darius Walker (RB, Notre Dame) Drew Tate (QB, Iowa) Marshawn Lynch (RB, Cal) Kenny Irons (RB, Auburn) Chad Henne (QB, Michigan) Kyle Wright (QB, Miami) Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State) Kenneth Darby (RB, Alabama) JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU) Drew Weatherford (QB, Florida State) Blake Mitchell (QB, South Carolina) Reggie Ball (QB, Georgia Tech) |
