3 more picks today vs. Kentucky who on paper, with the way Louisville was playing early, should have been sub-par competition.

If people really are considering Jalen, then if he has a monster game against Florida next week, then it could very well be him since Louisville will be at home.

When you have 4 TOs in a loss to Kentucky in American football


uh, yeah, I think that disqualifies you from winning a Heisman Trophy.

Jalen didn't have the rushing numbers today. He would have to have a BIG game against Florida.


This is definitely a strange year all around.

I would like to hope so, but this is a media driven award and if this is like previous years most of the ballots will be sent in this week. The media still feels like Jackson is the best player.

If they wanna put someone from Bama up for it, I'd much rather see J. Allen. He better fits the bill in my opinion of what a Heisman candidate should be.

I mean, JT Barrett had a really disjointed end of the season. He looks no better or worse than our true freshman QB right now. Jabril Peppers didn't have the game he needed to slide into the cat bird seat.

Baker Mayfield may win this by default if OU wins Bedlam

True. I don't know who the media is pushing anymore though. It was definitely Jackson, but after the past few losses, I'm thinking they have turned on him. I have a feeling they're going to push Watson, but they may also push a true freshman that led his team to an undefeated season in the SEC.

Could seeing as how this is a media driven award as B1GTide alludes to. Mayfield is only good against mediocre to bad teams. When he goes up against a very good or great team he plays like garbage.

That hasn't stopped people from saying OU IN THE PLAYOFFS?! don't think it would stop that either.

After the past 2 weeks, I don't see how he can still be in the running. Padding stats against cupcakes shouldn't win you this award. If the Heisman has any meaning left, then it can't go to someone that completely failed when it came down to crunch time.

Some teams call games against Kentucky "mid-season tune up" but I guess crunch time is a relativistic thing.
