Oregon State running back and Heisman Trophy hopeful Ken Simonton, or “Ken35” as he’ll be called in this article, dropped the ball in his first game of the season Sept. 2 against Fresno State, only rushing for 42 yards on 15 carries.
Joey Harrington, Oregon’s Heisman hopeful at quarterback, completed 23 passes for 278 yards and three touchdowns, but threw two interceptions in his first game against Wisconsin.
But enough with the numbers. Doesn’t everyone want to know how the Web site stack up?
As part of their respective Heisman campaigns, both Harrington (www.joeyharrington.net) and Simonton (www.ken35.org) have their own domains on the Internet. Naturally, the Emerald took a long, hard look at the Web site to definitively determine who wins the battle of the fiberoptics.

Style: With an avalanche of Flash graphics, Harrington’s Web site buries you with cool features. The Oregon “O” follows your cursor around, and a fancy intro features Harrington’s New York billboard coming to life. While navigating the site, someone (Joey?) grunts a “hut, hut” when you pass your cursor over a feature.
Content: The site features five different categories and includes Harrington’s career and season statistics, awards, game reviews and previews of Oregon’s next game. You can also “Meet Joe College,” of which a typical outtake is: “When traveling, the one thing I have to bring is: clean boxers.”
Cool stuff: The “extras” section includes Joey screensavers, wallpaper and game pictures. You can also send in questions for Joey to answer.
Overall Grade: A-

Style: Ken35’s Web site reflects his humble, yet flashy nature. The design is simple, and focuses on his logo — yes, Simonton has his own logo — which shows up often. Also, cool-looking charts on the site’s main page track Ken35’s assault on different college records.
Content: Not too much. Sections include awards, statistics, photos and press clippings filled with praise for number 35. Also has game stories, slightly spun to Ken35’s campaign. The Fresno State story blames his lack of rushing yards on “Offense forced into playing catch-up with passing game.”
Cool stuff: Area with video of Ken’s great plays isn’t working yet, and that was going to be the highlight of the site.
Overall grade: B
