Only one Heisman winner on a team with a losing record, but over 50 with undefeated or 1-loss records. Maybe the team does have something to do with it...
September 10, 20196 yr Updateded front runners are: Justin Fields - dominant against a hapless Nebraska. Flavor of the moment Jalen Hurts - Texas Tech QB numbers in Texas Tech system but at OU so Heisman talk (see Baker, Kyler) Joe Burrow - Texas game win still keeping him here. Auburn and Bama game looms Tua - Name recognition on undefeated Bama Jonathan Taylor - A RB on a undefeated team that actually runs the football Edited September 29, 20196 yr by Neonmoon

The best team OU has played thus far is a 1-2 Houston. The other two are 0-3 (and one is FBS)! How much easier could OU make it for Hurts? At least Lawrence has played a team above .500.

Lincoln Riley is playing a different game than everyone else and Big 12 defenses are going to be completely ineffective against it.

Fuck Billy Sims. benefit of the doubt goes to the Oklahoma QB, proviso added circa 2003 It is a meaningless award now, because any OU QB with a pulse wins it-- they're the only program that gets that kind of treatment although "Alabama running back" has also been unduly rewarded twice recently.

To say Hurts deserves any award for beating 0-3 UCLA, 0-3 FBS SD, and 1-2 UH this season is ridiculous.
September 16, 20196 yr Author There's a certain shamelessness to the way blOU runs its offense to pad QB stats. Hurts would never have put these numbers up at Alabama. You can't tell me he's anything but a system QB at this point.

Their defense has been equally bad so there’s that.

He should be leading now. And OU will drop off slightly under Hurts. I see OU fatigue among voters so no 3pete if all other things are equal. Tua finally gets a Bama QB one...Vegas agrees.

I mean, stats are one good measure, but how about a player transferring away from a school because he wasn't their best QB, and then leading that very same QB in a Heisman straw poll? SMDH.

Hey I didn't say it made any sense. As the others start to lose and Ehlinger continues his excellence he will be back into contention.

You want to put money on them not ending up number 1? I think the D improves a lot and the offense takes a small step back. That still leaves their offense number 1.

You can't tell me he's anything but a system QB at this point. What way is that, efficiently? Knock the competition all you want, but Hurts has come out of all 3 games early, even though the UH game was close enough to leave him in with no one batting an eye, and he played one drive in the 2H against S. Dakota. 10 of Hurts' 13 TDs have come in the first half of games. On 9/4/2019 at 9:53 AM, WBT said: Peterson invited over Ced in 2004 for me.

Peterson finished 2nd that year, Ced (RIP 🤘) finished 6th. Blame the voters if you want, but no one who finished 6th in the voting has gotten an invite.
September 16, 20196 yr Good lord are we back to touting that gaining a lot of yards and scoring a lot of TDs is shameful?

No shit, the whole discussion was an indictment of the voters being mindless idiots drawn to shiny things. I responded to a post about VY losing to Reggie Bush.
September 16, 20196 yr Trevor Lawrence has completed 61% of his passes for 831 yards, 5 TDs and 5 INTs. He has 55 yards rushing. Sam Ehlinger has completed 73% of his passes for 956 yards, 11 TDs, and 0 INTs. He has 121 yards rushing. Guess which one The Athletic has in its Heisman race?

September 17, 20196 yr Lawrence is having a bit of a sophomore slump. He missed some easy TDs against aggy. I bet he gets on fire though. He’s a badass. And so are his receivers Higgins and Ross

Just two years ago we were just hoping to be bowl eligible. I was in a "discussion" on the OSU board with a few geniuses who strongly disagreed with Sam even being mentioned as a possible Heisman contender. You know, because he totally sucks. Or at least he did two years ago against us when he was a freshman and probably wasn't great against last year. So my dilemma is, if (or is it when?) Sam torches our soft D for 487 yds passing, 4 TDs, and 95 yards rushing, do I go back and gloat? How does one tastefully gloat? Maybe I'll just bump the thread or tag the geniuses and see what they say.
