Pryor vs. Robinson for the Heisman ... circle Nov. 27 on your calendar

Working in the media for many years, there aren't many times I attend an Ohio State football game as a fan.

This season will be different. My uncle, who's been a season ticket-holder for years but doesn't get to as many games as he would like, put several of his single-game tickets on sale to friends and family. One was the Michigan game on Nov. 27.

Thinking it might not be the most competitive game of the season, it was still Michigan, I thought. I bought the pair for a reasonable price.

Two game into this season, I might have found the bargain of the college football season. At the rate OSU and Michigan are heading this season, and the play of QBs Terrelle Pryor and Denard Robinson, The Game could be another classic.

Yes, it's early and the Wolverines could prove to be another year away from contending in the Big Ten. Still, if Big Blue wins at least eight games, Robinson will be in the hunt for the Heisman, as will Pryor, as long as the Buckeyes keep winning.

If they keep winning, a spot in the BCS National Championship game will likely be on the line for OSU, as will the Big Ten title.

An added bonus of perhaps a winner-takes-home-the-Heisman type game between Pryor and Robinson would make The Game even juicer.

Pryor vs. Robinson. They might hand someone the Heisman on Nov. 27.
