So answer me this:  Who would have won the Heisman if Jaylen Waddle never got hurt?

Ya know that just might have happened.Good system QB like Colt McCoy - spread it around to the playmakers to do their thing and move the chains

well, the two WRs split the catches and TDs and add a few more - makes the QB look VERY good

Hard to play what if game. I really like Waddle, but Smith is clearly superior receiver. Probably Smith still. Who knows.

Waddle is a legit 4.3 guy who hangs on the ball.Depends on his foot injury obviously

Waddle vs Smith debate just like the Ruggs vs Jeudy. Jeudy was clearly the better wide receiver and football player, Ruggs was just more athletic and freakishly fast. Same thing here. Smith is just better.

Jeudy had a much better rookie year than Ruggs playing with hot garbage at QB. Throw Jeudy on the Raiders with Derek Carr and Gruden calling plays, he breaks over 1,000 yards as a rookie.

Does Waddle keep up his production? Does Smith have the same production? Are Jones' numbers notably better?

It's a solid counterfactual because there is no real answer here.

Oh, I just thought having another 1st round WR opposite him would lead most people to figure Smith's numbers would be normal-good and thus, not Heisman-worthy, especially for a WR.  

I'm just being silly again.

That’s true, but it’s true for most folks. If Trask has a 1,500-yard rusher, his stats are worse, less chance, yada yada.

The NCAA's most odd deficiency is its unwillingness to incorporate stats THAT WE ALREADY KNOW AND HAVE into the official records.  Bowl games, sacks, FG %, etc. going back in time are widely known and if not, kept by the universities themselves.

Would it kill each athletic dept to grab some kid and have him go through it all for season totals?  No, that'd be great.  But the NCAA just sits on its ass, even when these stats are well-known.
Thanks to the efforts of Brian Niemann, Husker fans now have some new resources at their fingertips when looking back at the 1971 Orange Bowl, the clincher for Nebraska’s first football national championship.

For the first time, a log of every play is available, from the opening kickoff to the final kneel-down. Brian studied the game video to fill in the many details that aren’t included in the official game statistics.

He also produced a package of graphics derived from game statistics and facts. Among the half-dozen works is a Fanalytix GameView360 chart like the ones he created for HuskerMax’s 2020 game pages.

We thank Brian for his work, and we hope you enjoy it.

Just an FYI:  thanks to Mac Jones, a new single-season passer rating record has been set each of the past 5 years.  Insanity.
