The Heisman has already been decided. Look at the thread title for the answer.

I even heard a rumor that he's already signed the trophy with one of those big Expo Markers.
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Clowney's value has sure plummeted.

Before the season even started, the media analysts were touting him as the heisman front runner (which baffles me that you can be a front runner when no one has played a single snap yet).

Now that we all get to see him regularly, he doesn't look too terribly impressive.
He gassed out early vs North Carolina . . . he had one significant play vs the Dawgs.

Clowney will show up when playing the fluff teams, and we will all be fed the: "This is the Jadeveon Clowney we remember from last year", talk.

I always knew someone would join Archie in the two Heisman club, I guess I just wished it wouldn't be a jerk.

What drives me crazy is that Miley Manziel won the Heisman for beating Bama... and he nearly had the football folly of the year when he bobbled the ball, and it just happened to fall back in his arms.

Miley Manziel :lol: :lol: :lol:

Like the unctuous national championship, the Heisman is that, as well as irrelevant to rational thinkers.

I kinda agree...but still want those trophies to be on the 40 acres!

VY is pretty consistently ranked as the best player of the BCS era...yet no one has a Heisman from that year.

Quite frankly UL played "nobody" last year either [unless you consider UK somebody]; but, when the Sugar Bowl came around he played there like he had played 'somebody' all year. Ok, unless your logic is to rule him out - old school big boy conference style, you have to judge on how he plays no matter who it is. You can't count the schools that scheduled UL when they thought it an easy win only to back out later on. We just learned Notre Dame did it backing out of a 3-game series that had everyone's Ok except ND coach Charlie Weiss. Look where that got him.

Oh, I think Teddy will be in the running unless they lose a game big time which seems unlikely.

Time will tell, Swamp Daddy :wink:

Of course he will be in the running if he puts up the numbers...

But, having maybe the weakest schedule of any major program with big wins, might hamper him.

Watch out for McCarron, Johnny Football...and maybe Famous Jameis, among others.

It's tough to judge how good a player is, when he plays against only one National Contender all season long . . . especially when that game is a Bowl.

Bridgewater doesn't play against very effective pass rushing defenses . . . which affords his O-line to hold the protection until his fast receivers get open . . . then another big play happens.

Bridgewater is an accurate passer for sure, and yet, finding holes in a defense who barely shows up is not particularly impressive.

Kentucky is giving him some trouble right now, though.

UL laid an egg against UK. Oh, they won, but, the looked weak on offense. Heretofore almost perfect Bridgewater looked ordinary making around 50% of his passes. Defense played well enough to help the win. I think this game has probably sunk any hopes they had at the end of the year.

Oh well, that's why you play the games.

This may have been the toughest opponent they will face. So they will still probably finish 12-0. Not sure that can get them to the championship game. Personally, I don't think it should, even though they might be worthy. I think going to the ACC will give them that chance, if they go unbeaten.
