  The Heisman hype for Patterson continues to grow, in the wake of his astonishing 409-yard game Nov. 28 against Kent State, in which he tied a Football Bowl Subdivision record with eight touchdowns in a game. That performance, along with Patterson's consistent production, has put him on the map as one of the nation's top players. "It's definitely an honor, a blessing, to be considered in the conversation," Patterson said of the Heisman chatter. "Just growing up, loving the game, you look at TV and you see guys who are Heisman finalists. You never think you will be in consideration. But you have to keep working, put your head down, control what you can control. That's my approach. Keep working and good things will happen."

Patterson entered the weekend first in the nation in rushing yards per game (230), tied for second in rushing touchdowns (16) and fifth in total yards. Patterson is the second all-time leading rusher for the Bulls (3,732 yards), and he needs 80 yards in order to reach his third 1,000-yard rushing season at UB. If he cracks the 1,000-yard plateau Dec. 12 against Akron, Patterson will be the 12th player in FBS history to reach it in five games. "It's deserving for him to be in this conversation," UB coach Lance Leipold said. "His numbers speak for themselves. Do I say he's going to win the Heisman Trophy? No, that's not it. "But to be in conversations, and I don't know how many people get these ballots … do these ballots have three people? But you look at the numbers and the consistency and where it's at, I think he deserves it." - Buffalo News
