I feel like it's impossible to get any higher.

But man, Cam Ward, he genuinely has to be Superman and, and it's, it's wild to me to watch, particularly the second half of another game where it feels like there is no margin for error for this kid.

He's got to be perfect on every drive.

He's got to use his legs.

He's got to use his arm his accuracy.

I thought today.

So when you're talking about tight window throws was absolutely through the, he threw guys open in ways that I thought was beautiful to watch.

And then also when they needed a huge first down, he got it with his legs fearlessly several times and just, I'm watching Cam Ward single-handedly say, you know what, I'm not going out this way.

We're not going out this way week after week after week when the rest of the team fails them at him.

Cam Cam just rises above everybody.

It's pretty herculean.

Usually when you have a quarterback who makes as good a plays and as as many big highlight plays as Cam Ward does, normally that comes with, with a quarterback that turns the football over a lot or a quarterback that takes too many chances or takes too much risk or puts the ball on the ground.

Cam Ward hasn't done that.

I mean, no interceptions today against Louisville.

Uh, he has taken care of the football and had the ability to also drive the ball down the field which is the hardest combo for a quarterback to do with sequel RS all over the country, not be able to combine the two.

And Cam Ward has, has shown he's right up there in the top few of the Heisman conversation.

I feel like Cam Ward at this point is singing anything you can do.

I can do better to Shadur Sanders.

Like I, I watched Cam today thinking everything that we, we constantly make of, you know, Heisman coach, trophy candidate and NFL draft prospect Shadur Sanders.

Cam's just doing a better job of all of it.

And can he beat this Herculean?

Yeah, because he has, should he be to Adam's point?

I don't think Miami is a great football team when they take on an actual real football team that we believe is great, not just good.

Louisville is good when they take on a great foot, the margin for error will no longer be there.

Their offense might just be good enough to lead them to an undefeated season.

I mean, e even despite how bad they, they've been on defense and Miami scored 50 points in four games this season.

So far and barely halfway through the season.

So really unbelievable job by Cam Ward he should return to, I think probably being the odds on Heisman favorite after this week too.
