Thoughts on the Heisman Race....

[BamaInMo1]

Problem is, for Sunshine, that Jones goes up against LSWho on Saturday and will likely have a BIG game. Then, against Arky will have a very good game as well and if Jones takes out Trask I don't know that anyone with any credibility or integrity about themselves could really say Sunshine is better.
Now, if Sunshine does win it and we face them in the playoffs then I see our team playing very angry on both sides of the ball and trying to break Sunshine.

I believe you can submit your votes at anytime. I know I have seen games in the past where some announcer is a voter and he states he already submitted his votes and we still have games to go. I think most wait until the final deadline so who knows.

I think you’re right in that they don’t have to wait until the end of the season. Most do, but not all.

I will say this year being what it is, even the usual early voters may wait until the deadline.

That would be an interesting.... never mind I’ve seen it answered too much on NS

Thoughts on the Human Race - we are doomed.

Thoughts on the Heisman race - we are in decent shape.

As close the race is at this point, I think most is waiting til SEC Championship to see what happens. If Mac Plays well and Trask does okay, then some voters will mail it in.

I get this feeling the media will continue on the notion of Trask as this “real life Walter Mitty type story” of a young guy in Texas that couldn’t get on the field as a high school QB because another blue chip QB was on the same team (D’Eriq King) and no major power five school wants him until Florida gives him a scholarship late. The “hero wallows in obscurity as a backup” until Felipe Franks goes down, then seizes the opportunity to lead Gators to glory this year.

Oh how they do love a good story..

Then you have “Sunshine” Lawrence that many will vote for as a “lifetime achievement award” because Coach Awe Shucks will position that way.

If Mac performs in the next three games the way he has in the first eight, there is little question he is the most deserving.

Unfortunately the Heisman doesn’t always go to the most deserving

I dig what you're saying, but Mac's got a pretty good 3* sitting behind 5* guys story too...

We need the talking heads to “turn up the volume” about that aspect of Mac’s career at Alabama.

There is also a select group of voters that desperately want to give it to Sunshine. If he has an unreal game against Notre Dame in the rematch, he will steal some votes.

 

[Bazza]

Saw today that Mac is leading and ahead by 1 point.

Will be interesting to see what happens after Saturday's games.

Good stuff!

 

[deliveryman35]

I still think Mac can win it, but if the vote was taken today then I think it would be awarded to Trask.

Gotta be honest. Not a huge fan...

 

[Windsortide]

I think it is all out there for Mac. He delivers the SEC title out duels Trask , I think he will bring the trophy home.

 

[Jay Hughes]

Trask- He can't afford mistakes. He faces Tennessee and LSU. Mess up in the game and he's all of suddenly behind Mac Jones in the race for Heisman.

I read this and had a good laugh. Why you ask. Well I just realized that LSU ends their season playing Bama and Florida.

 

[BearFoot]

Looking at the shiny glare from the top of your profile picture...

...might you just be a little jealous of the flowing golden locks sitting atop his “future-marketing-goldmine” of a head?

Mz Lawrence needs a hair cut...
But I think he will win the Heisman anyway.

 

[JustNeedMe81]

two things I was wrong:
Trask is ahead of Jones slightly in the race.
LSU is capable of pulling upset... against Florida because Dan is gonna Dan.

I think Saturday night will b Mac's heisman moment.,prime time on the road 4to 5 tds and 350+ could seal the deal
