2022 Heisman Race
« on: October 24, 2022, 12:03:03 PM »
right now looks like it's pretty much a two man race and that's it- Tennessee's QB Hendon Hooker and Ohio State's QB CJ Stroud. Bama QB Bryce Young could possibly get back in this thing, but he's missed too much time and has that L to Tennessee. Right now Hooker has to be the leader in the club house with that statement W and Heisman moment vs Bama, but Stroud will have his opportunities to catapult to #1 with games @Penn State and home vs Michigan. Can't see anyone else winning it beyond those 3 at this point, and Bryce is kind of a long shot- he will have to go nuts down the stretch and the other two will have to fall apart for him to win it.

I would think Duggan is going to see some advocacy of his consideration.

Is this a try out for that Nissan commercial?

Why not a UM RB if he goes off vs OSU and no one else is a clear favorite?

Nah. RB isn't winning the award. Corum would have to put up stupid #'s the rest of the way + go absolutely nuclear vs OSU to even have a sniff of a shot- and I don't think that's going to happen bc Edwards is finally healthy and he's going to be taking away a lot of the carries going forward imo. Corum was only getting so many carries lately because Edwards was out. Edwards is back healthy and they're going be getting him more and more involved every week. 

Think it's Hooker's to lose at this point, but CJ is still right there.

Who cares about the Heisman.  This is the Big Ten.  The Ray Guy is the real trophy

So is the USC QB now the expected winner?

Yeah, he'd get my vote barring a meltdown.

Max Duggan, TCU

very similar stats to Hooker

passer rating nearly the same as Hooker and better than Caleb Williams.

if he has a good game saturday and gets the win, he'll be the undefeated QB

unfortunately, Big 12 perception and mostly TCU perception

if he had done this at Texas or Oklahoma, he'd be mentioned

yup looks like it's Caleb Williams to lose. Long as he doesn't crap the bed vs Utah, he's winning it.

Stroud, Hooker, and Duggan have better stats

Hooker got blown out vs South Carolina and clowned vs Georgia and missed the last game of the year with injury. He's out imo.

Duggan plays for TCU- hard to imagine them giving the Heisman to a guy from TCU unless there is no one else or the guy is just amazing like RGIII was that year at Baylor. Duggan pretty good- but he's not that level good.

Stroud might have a shot if Williams really craps the bed vs Utah and 'SC loses and he's just terrible. I think it comes down to those two guys. It's Caleb Williams' to lose- but Stroud could backdoor his way into a Heisman if Caleb really just falls flat on his face.

I gave up on the hypesman years ago

it's sad that Stroud won't win because his team dropped a late season game to the #2 team on their home field when Stroud goes 31-48, 349 YDS, 2 TD

Well one thing's for sure:  the best player is definitely not a lineman or defender.  Obviously.
