Take Two: Better Heisman candidate -- Jalen Hurts or Jonathan Allen? - SEC Blog- ESPN/rbr
Allen does it all. He's not your prototypical 250-pound sack artist who rushes with his speed and is a liability against the run. Rather, he can play all three downs, has the size to play inside and out, and still has six sacks this season. If you include last year, he's fourth in the FBS with 18 sacks -- ahead of Garrett and Tennessee’s Derek Barnett. Look, the Heisman wasn't meant to go to quarterbacks every year. That's boring. Rather, it's supposed to go to the most deserving player, regardless of position. And in Allen, I think I've found someone who fits that mold. He's the best player on the best team in America.

rbr opThat's not a bad argument, and it's backed up by numbers too. Suh got a lot of traction for being a disruptive pass-rushing force in 2009, but he had several bad games and disappeared for stretches at a time. Allen has no such issue: He's now recorded a sack in every game this season, is the unquestioned leader of the defense, and is absolute hell on running backs too.
PFF also rates Jonathan Allen the No. 1 defensive lineman in the nation, and he is now firmly vying for the No. 1 overall pick ahead of Myles Garrett.
Jon Solomon agrees with the Allen for Heisman campaign (and takes a dump on the Jabril Peppers hype train):

In other words, Harbaugh actually “makes” $5 million a year. That is still a LOT of money for a coach with precisely zero Big 10 or national titles on his resume. Because the first of those $2 million insurance policies came as part of his contract this June and another is due in December, that adds up to a tidy $9 million this season.
