One of ESPN.com's college football writers also does a mail column where he answers letters from readers. Last he had mentioned that Calvin Johnson, Georgia Tech's all universe receiver, was the best, most talented player in college football, despite not being the leader in the Heisman race. What was more amazing is that he said this week that the response from readers was 4-1 in agreement with him.

Reggie Ball, Tech's QB, has grown up and is a lot more competent than he used to be, but one still wonders if there would be any question on the Heisman race this year if Calvin had an accurate passer throwing to him. On the rare occassions the ball is passed to him in stride, he scores. But because Ball isn't very pinpoint, Johnson often has to show off his athleticism by breaking stride and reaching behind to catch a ball, losing all momentum and allowing the lesser men on the field a chance to tackle him.
