Oregon, well before they became a national power, bought a Times Square advertisement for Joey Harrington. That Heisman campaign fell short as Harrington finished 4th, with Eric Crouch winning. However, he was all over ESPN, SI and the various news outlets promoting Oregon football. That campaign helped move Oregon football move from Pac12 contender to BCS title contender.

Sidenote; At this time (2001) they also started their crazy uniform combinations.

lets take the Oregon script and follow it...in this order.

1) Winning
2) Crazy uniform combos
3) Heisman hype

I want the uniforms!

Taylor is ridiculously talented, and I believe that if he puts up the numbers then the NFL talent scouts will be hawking over him. He will not win the Heisman based on numerous factors including strength of schedule but it will put ODU on the map even more than it already is.
