Anyone else notice Will Anderson's name is starting to get included in the conversation? Josh Pate on Late Kick said he's the best player in college football this season and deserves consideration. I don't disagree.
Love Caleb Williams, but there's no way he sniffs this year's Heisman – nor should he.He’s getting some attention from talking heads, but likely won’t from actual voters. The award is little more than a popularity contest at this point.
No matter how dominant they are, defenders will always have too big of a hill to climb. They have one quiet game and are forgotten. Another example is Jordan Davis at UGA. He was starting to get some hype a couple of weeks ago, but never cracked the projected top 10.
Meanwhile Caleb Williams is now projected as a top 5 vote getter and he hasn’t even played the full season.
A relatively pedestrian game in a loss blunted his momentum.Idk who is going to win. Michigan State's RB probably has the inside track.
Oh come on, live a littleHeisman talk is rat poison right now. We need to clean up team wide issues. Forget individual awards. Football is a TEAM SPORT!!
A little but he still has the Ohio State game to make a statement and there is no clear leader taking the Heisman.A relatively pedestrian game in a loss blunted his momentum.
I tend to agree at this point. That's why I don't think its out of the realm of possibility that Caleb Williams ends up winning it.This is the season in which the voters go for story over results. Dont be surprised if somehow someone comes out of nowhere or another random position player wins it. This feels like the RGIII type year for Heisman.
IDK that one may be a stretch with how people are viewing Oklahoma right now, but its certainty possible. I was more referring to someone like Anderson or someone that had a big momentI tend to agree at this point.

It's a very odd Heisman year
I don't think he should be seen as a favorite but media types have been hyping him since he stepped foot on the field which makes me thinks he has a real shot if he has big games vs Baylor and OKstate.IDK that one may be a stretch with how people are viewing Oklahoma right now, but its certainty possible.

Agreed. That’s why I used him as an example. He’s a guy who doesn’t start until 3-4 games into the season and is in a historically insane offense for QB stats. I think having him in the top 5 for now is asinine.Love Caleb Williams, but there's no way he sniffs this year's Heisman – nor should he.
Exactly what Will Anderson would say.Heisman talk is rat poison right now. We need to clean up team wide issues. Forget individual awards. Football is a TEAM SPORT!!
Two games will be huge, and one is only hypothetical at this point.A little but he still has the Ohio State game to make a statement and there is no clear leader taking the Heisman.
I dunno- if Walker goes off for 200 in a loss, I don’t think it hurts his chances. Unlike a qb, he doesn’t touch the ball on every play.Two games will be huge, and one is only hypothetical at this point.
Alabama vs. Georgia and Michigan St. vs. Ohio State.
Both those games will have massive title implications and give the respective player a chance in the spotlight. I will be cheering for Michigan St. strictly for Alabama purposes, but a loss there would be really bad for his Heisman hopes.
If MSU drops another couple of games. Which is possible He won’t win.I dunno- if Walker goes off for 200 in a loss, I don’t think it hurts his chances. Unlike a qb, he doesn’t touch the ball on every play.
