Is Lamar Jackson for Heisman now over?

Yep me too. Trent had at least 3 different "Heisman Moments" that season, but his campaign was hindered by major factors as far as the voters were concerned: 1) Bama fatigue aka the Bama hateration movement took flight in 2011 after we lost 9-6 to LSU but were still in the BCSCG discussion and eventually awarded a rematch the weekend before the Heisman was named.
2) he played behind arguably the O-line in recent CFB history, and since his success was equal to Ingram before him, more credit began to be given to the O-line and the"system" we ran (basically the knock we heard against DH last year during Heisman season)
3) We didn't play in the SECCG game that year. Trent probably would've had another 100 plus 2 TD performance had we made it to ATL. Instead, LSU makes it to the SECCG, Tyrann Mathieu went all Honey Badger on UGA and thus took a lot of regional votes away from Trent.

Yeah, those factors were enough, especially your third point. Not some QB that lost games for his football team. At least he did get the Doak Walker award.

This will not be the year for Hurts. Jackson looked poor yesterday so my best guess would be Watson.

It should be - Watson could be the leader at this point after yesterday.

I'd say Watson. He has one more game to put up big numbers. If he has another night like he did against USCe then he wins it IMO. Peppers is good but he doesn't have the #'s to back it up. Also (like Jackson) not playing another game next week will hurt his chances. Allen will probably fall victim to Bama fatigue and Hurts is not the best player on the team....this year.... Baker Mayfield even with a 400 yard 6 TD game may at best get him 2nd place.

Give it to Watson.

Yep, let him carry that through the playoffs.

I'd vote Watson if I had a vote.

I still think Trent Richardson was clearly the best player in the country that year.

Yeah I felt the same here. Trent was robbed in 2011.

Jackson still wins in a land slide

I'm leaning more towards Watson. With him being on a playoff team and a trip to NYC last year helps him.

JustNeedMe81 · Nov 27, 2016

I want Watson to win this year. I want Hurts and Jackson to be invited to NYC.

Yeah, that would be OK.

Baker mayfield is the only person with a chance other than LJ. IMO
