Who wins the Heisman… and other awards thread

[bamaga]

Curious , who wins the Heisman? Mendoza is cleaning up on the award circuit so far. But, he and Pavia are completing 71% of their passes but Pabia has 200 more passing yards and 600 more rushing yards. Mendoza has 2 less INTs and 6 more passing TDs. Pavia has 3 more rushing TDs . Trump card, Pavia played against more top 30 teams . I’m taking Pavia

is this worthy of winning the best DB Jim Thorpe award?
Or is it just good PR?

Mendoza

I have to go with the guy on the undefeated team here

I don't know why they spend an hour supposedly keeping everyone in suspense when everyone knows who's going to win. I can't think of anytime that the favorite days before the ceremony has lost. Many preseason favorites have lost but not the favorite now. Just have a brief 10 minute presentation to Fernando Mendoza.

Mendoza will win it. Probably shouldn't, but the award hasn't gone to the actual best player in a while. Mendoza's "Heisman moment" was because a receiver made a fantastic catch.

The North Texas QB has better stats.

and Sayin isn't even the best player on his own team.

Mendoza won it last Saturday against OSU

This might be the most uninteresting Heisman in recent memory. It would not surprise me if this year Heisman is one of the lowest watch in recent memory.

Clark Lea really just lauded Pavia’s humility

Was he holding his nose when he said it

Yep. It hasn't been a great year as far as Heisman performances go, but somebody has to win it.

Julian Sayin is probably the best QB in the country. #1 in every passing category. Short passes, long passes over 20 yards in air, under pressure, on the move.

Despite his enormous character/personality flaws..Pavia is probably the one who did the most for his team...but this isn't about that, its now a popularity contest. Love ran well against weak teams, not so much against good teams...I think Mendoza wins because he went undefeated..but his and Sayin's numbers are mediocre vs other QB winners from the past....he is the best of a very meh bunch for the award

Looks like you called it!

Happy Mendoza won.

Congrats to Fernando and the Hoo Hoo Hosier Nation!

I think so. Perhaps the voters decided to give it to Mendoza because he's ready to enter the draft while Sayin will be back to try and win it next season.

This is the weakest Heisman class in recent memory. While Pavia should have won, perception-wise Mendoza looked to be the safer, more wholesome pick. More often than not somebody who has no business winning always comes away with the trophy.

I’m good with the pick. He beat Pavia soundly. He’s led INDIANA to the #1 seed. That’s just nuts.
