Article in Austin Statesman Sports section today was " Heisman Race".. Beck Georgia,Gabreil Oregon ,Sanders Colorado Gordon rb from OK st and a few more and I looked for one person and he made the Statemans top 10 contenders. Cameron Ward of Miami. I have told this story before so skip if you already heard it. I have season tickets to Texas State since I live in south Austin and buy an end zone seat and then sit on the 50 yd line in row 12. Or basically anywhere where I want. Its a beautiful stadium and although they play in the Sun Conference there is no crowd, no traffic and get to enjoy a D-1 football game on saturdays.
A few years ago Texas St is playing Incarnate Word . I have seen the road sign on the interstate going to UTSA basketball games. It is D-1 and a catholic college in San Antonio Never knew there was a catholic college that plays football in Texas.
As a enter the Bobcats staduim the Tex st fans have signs all over. " who is Incarnate Word". How can Tex st put this reform school on the schedule when the following week they are playing Baylor. I take my seat in row 12 right near the Incarnate bench and a father and mother are sitting a row next to me. I'm watching a 6'5 black qb warm up and he looks amazing with his throws The father sitting next to me after I ask him what is the name of that qb in front of us. He says Cameron Ward . He tell me " you don't know him"? He then tells me he has D-2 or D-3 records in passing touchdowns and led the nation in passing offense. I'm watching this kid warm up and he is throwing darts at his receivers looking like he has unbelievable arm strength. The father tells me about this catholic school run by the nuns and Tex state is there biggest opponent . The fans around me are making fun of Incarnate Word and many also have never heard of it. The dad tells me tex St is in trouble this afternoon . I think I have Tex St -9 or -10 . Anyway the game starts and this qb is a force Tall at 6'5 quick release and has running ability. I have to go and babysit but Ward throws for 3 or 4 tds and Incarnate Word beats Tex St 34-24. Incarnate blows out Tex St and Cameron is a sensation . There isn't a better qb in the B-12 and this kid is unreal Back later to finish this My bad He transferred to Wash St last year and broke a few Pac 10 passing records Now he plays for Miami and is listed as a Heisman contender

Anyway Ward destroyed Tex St and his quick release and mobility in the pocket made Bobcat defesne look bad. Think Ward threw for over 400 yds and 3 or 4 touchdowns. He had a favorite WR who caught a few of his touchdowns . After a 34-24 win everyone left Bobcat Stadium and knew who Incarnate Word was. GJ Kinne the Incarnate Word coach game plan and spread out offense didn't give Tex D a chance. I think I saw one of the best qb's in the country with a cannon of an arm,quick release and pocket awareness and nobody ever heard of him .
Well the Incarnate coach Kinne is now the head coach at Tex ST. I'm sure his game plan left an impression on the Tex ST Athletic department and higher ups. Kinne is now the head coach at Tex St. I put a prop bet on Cam to win the Heisman at +1800 when I was back in New Jersey this summer.. I put $5.00 to win $95 at least 5 times and bought all my racquetball buddies a ticket here in Texas. He was listed as a contender is this morning article. At Miami he has some great receivers and a solid OFF line. The Canes got one of the best qb's in the country and a definite 1st round draft NFL selection. Tex St got a super coach innovative spread offense . So keep on eye on Cam Ward to win the Heisman and Tex St to win the Sun Conference . Not sure how this Transfer portal rules are but Cam is playing I think for 5 or 6 years and everyone will see him on Sundays in the NFL someday. I was lucky and got to see him early on in his rise to fame. Miami fans have no idea what they will be watching this year. Go Cam Go
