I say no shot. Favorites have to be Gabriel and Beck and I guess Hunter. Interesting case will be Ewers. Outstanding QB of what looks like the best team but he missed several games and the team was fine. Winner of Texas-Georgia game’s QB is probably in the drivers seat along with Gabriel.Ok getting back to non-murder things…
The Heisman race is getting interesting. If they give it to Ashton Jeanty (Boise St) would be the first non-power conference winner in 50+ years. Idk if the powers that be will let that happen, but he’s just tearing everyone apart (though for balance given there will be critics, it’s against inferior competition)
What’s crazy is Vegas still gives Jeanty the best odds (+150). Next closest is Gabriel (+325). It seems odd to me too that it would go to a non-P4 and I question the likelihood. It’s interesting that Vegas has more faith in this thoughI say no shot. Favorites have to be Gabriel and Beck and I guess Hunter. Interesting case will be Ewers.

Not sure if it's 50 years depending on how you count BYU. Ty Detmer won in 1990 so that's only 34/35Ok getting back to non-murder things…

They were an independent so I was counting them as effectively P4 (given they are today and, let’s be honest, BYU is a legit program that has historically had lots of fans and money, recent MWC history aside)Not sure if it's 50 years depending on how you count BYU.

I was going to note George Rogers of USC, but the Gamecocks do fit through your independent loophole.They were an independent so I was counting them as effectively P4 (given they are today and, let’s be honest, BYU is a legit program that has historically had lots of fans and money, recent MWC history aside)
Excluding Army / Navy (which we powerhouses back in the day), the last non-major Heisman was 1951 (Princeton)
And at the time, I think S Carolina, Florida State, Va Tech and Louisville were in the basketball league The Metro......but indies in FB...I was going to note George Rogers of USC, but the Gamecocks do fit through your independent loophole.
The spirit of what I’m getting at though you all understand. It’s been a long, long time since anyone outside of the major schools has been genuinely in consideration for the Heisman (not just there to get a token invite to NY so the writers can pretend there’s equity). It’s wild, and a bit refreshing to seeI was going to note George Rogers of USC, but the Gamecocks do fit through your independent loophole.
pretty soon the Big Ten/SEC consortium will insist that the Heisman go to one of their athletes.The spirit of what I’m getting at though you all understand.

And yet only trailing 7-0 at the half after Bama misses a long FGTennessee doing what Tennessee does come late October and beyond. Today Alabama looks to be the recipient. 3 turnovers and 2 missed FGs thus far for the Vols - and we aren’t even at halftime yet.![]()
True. But decades long trends say this will be a Bama win.And yet only trailing 7-0 at the half after Bama misses a long FG
I’m definitely not gonna make a pie bet against thatTrue. But decades long trends say this will be a Bama win.
