Heisman Trophy talk
Ashton Jeanty responds to Travis Hunter
Of course, the most important question to address when it comes to any bowl game this year: who is actually playing? Well, for LSU and Wisconsin, there’s one key offensive player for each club who will not be active in Raymond James Stadium.
For the Tigers, Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels as he shifts his focus to the NFL Draft. On the other side, career 3,400-yard running back Braelon Allen will not finish out his third season as a Badger as he’ll forgo the bowl game also with his mind set on preparations for the draft.
After posting 1,200 yards in each of his first two seasons, Allen merely accumulated 984 this time around, though he did set career highs in the passing game, catching 28 passes for 132 yards.
Daniels, of course, put up massive numbers from Game 1 through Game 12, finishing with 3,800 passing yards, 1,134 rushing yards and 50 total touchdowns — 40 through the air and 10 with his legs.
