ESPN's Ed Cunningham breaks down Heisman race, Johnny Football

Notes from Ed Cunningham interview

* The Heisman race has come down to Notre Dame versus Texas A&M. A&M has reestablished itself as a brand by having success in the toughest division in college football. Ultimately, it’s going to be very difficult to call this race in advance because you can’t overlook the influence of Notre Dame. He thinks it’s a coin-flip right now between Manti Te’o and Johnny Manziel.

* He disagrees with people who say this is a down year for the Heisman trophy.
