Give me a reason the Boise State running back shouldn't win the Heisman....

[ThinnyJ]

I don't care what competition they play against.... He has nearly double the numbers some of the all-time greats had.... In fact, he had double a lot of them in about 6 games this year.

I'm not following things that closely, but level of competition will factor into the decision.

 

[1vagamecock]

Don't know who he is. Is that a reason?

 

[PrestonyteParrot]

He plays for Boise State

 

[SouthernBelly]

Because Heisman voting is a sham

 

[92Pony]

Because of that horrible, blue playing field!

Because the Heisman goes to the player who is the biggest media darling of the season and has nothing to do with actual ability on the field.

Look at his tape. He makes moves not seen since Emmitt... and maybe even Barry Sanders.
UNLV was probably the best defense he played this season (except maaaaaybe Oregon). He would've had more against UNLV but he got beat up pretty bad, including the elbow injury, and he stayed in. He covers for a lot of bad OL and QB play.

Smurf turf is an eyesore!

This is a legitimate factor. I had to go look up Boise St stats to see who their leading rusher is to find out his name.

So that's how George won it I'm guessing.

It wasn't that way back then. When tv started covering more and more games and ESPN created the 24 hr talking head sports world things changed.

Because no competition. You put Gronk at TE on a middle school team and he will score 100 pts a game. Competition matters.

Jeanty is a beast. If he can continue the level of production he's put out so far, I think he'll win it easily. Monster numbers!

He leads the nation in rushing yards by 200 and is second in rushing touchdowns. He's averaging 196 yards/game, so extrapolate that over 13 games, he'd be at 2,548 rushing yards for the season. That's 80 yards short of Barry Sanders' record. He's averaging 2.5 touchdowns/game, so he's on pace for 33 touchdowns for the season. That would be 4 short of Sanders' record.

Only 29 guys in the history of college football have gone over 2000 rushing yards in a season. Only 5 guys in the history of college football have over 30 rushing touchdowns in a season.

Maybe he can transfer to us and we can have a second Heisman running back for the Gamecocks!

Maybe because Travis hunter is the better football player.
