News Article: Tua Tagovailoa has best odds among SEC players to win 2018 Heisman Trophy

For an Alabama player to win the Heisman, he will have to be head and shoulders better than the other candidates. Other teams spend a lot of money doing a Hype Campaign all season long telling the world how good their candidate is. We generally play a lot of players when we get ahead, rather than keep feeding the ball to a RB that might be a candidate. OR... We get ahead and our #2 QB gets significant playing time at the expense of the #1 QB.

Fact is Alabama places emphasis on team over Individuals.
And yes... We sometimes have an individual with outstanding numbers even with our deep roster.

I’m not sure if you saw the Championship game or not. I didn’t get to see it live. I don’t know how one has more anxiety or pressure than what Tua faces in the second half.

Tua has absolutely nothing but upside. Especially after that performance on the biggest possible stage in college football.

Exactly!

The Barn has more Heismans than we do and they are determined to keep it that way...whatever it takes. Watch the Stidham for Heisman campaign ratchet up in early August...
