LeSean McCoy Indispensable

LeSean McCoy is on the list of the most indispensable players in the country. (Criteria: this doesn't necessarily mean the 10 best, but the 10 guys whose status would be the most relevant in terms of leadership, performance or what the depth chart looks like behind them.)

Here’s what is said about him:

LeSean McCoy, Pitt, TB: With all due respect to little LaRod Stephens-Howling, McCoy turned a dismal offense into a force late last season and the shifty 210-pound sophomore looks good enough to make Pitt into a Big East title threat. McCoy's showed his worth in the Panthers' huge upset at WVU when he ran for 148 yards against a defense keyed on containing him. McCoy also is a very underrated receiver, and as Dave Wannstedt likes to remind people, he's a believer in hitching his wagon to a team's star as was the case when he was with the Miami Dolphins and Ricky Williams led the NFL in touches and when he worked with the Cowboys and Emmitt Smith led the league in touches as well. Look for Wannstedt to try and let McCoy led this program back into the top 25. Without him, though, it could be another sad season.

Is Pitt rated too high based on one player alone or is Pitt now considered a team to be reckoned with?

Re: LeSean McCoy Indispensable

McCoy is being touted as a possible Heisman candidate by some folks.
He's probably a dark horse, but if Pitt does indeed win the Big East this year, I can see him getting more than a few votes.
