If Heisman trophy was today, I think Nix would win. 3 more games.

Just for comparison sakes.
Obviously I hope Bo wins this trophy cause it means the team has likely won their remaining games.
But statistically, there's a very strong argument for Daniels, especially if they win what's left on their schedule.

Re: Heisman Race
If LSU had 1 loss he would be winning this thing running away. His numbers are insane, but they lost to pretty much every decent team they played this year.bellsduck wrote:Jayden Danielsgreenyellow wrote:

Re: Heisman Race
Beat Missouri and is the only reason they’ve been competitive in the rest of their games. Tebow, RG3, and Lamar Jackson all won with 3 team losses.frogsnouts wrote:If LSU had 1 loss he would be winning this thing running away.

Re: Heisman Race
All true! To be fair 2007 was a weird year. RG3 and Lamar both had at least one top 5 win as well. I think Daniels is the biggest problem for Nix winning if both teams win out, but I don't know if the stats gap is going to be insane enough to make up for having no real signature wins. Who knows, it's all a momentum award and it feels like Nix has the momentum if Oregon keeps winning.webfoots2001 wrote:Beat Missouri and is the only reason they’ve been competitive in the rest of their games.

Re: Heisman Race
I’d say neck and neck between them - stats vs winning. Pulling nix late in games was the right move, but it hurts his stat comparisons.
Next 3 weeks are what is going to separate them. Unfortunately, Penix can clearly surge over the next few weeks as well.
I will say the big sports news pumpers all all Daniel’s right now and that hurts. But Nix and Penix will have the limelight to shine or fade given the enormity of their team’s playoff race positions. Going to be a fun stretch for some fan base.

Re: Heisman Race
MC had no clue about anything other than OL guys. I am convinced as I see more and more how DL and his staff evaluate.buckmarkduck wrote:Remember when FMC didn’t want him.

Re: Heisman Race
Was just recently checking in on how MC guys are performing that transferred out has convinced me they were not evaluating talent at a high level. We had guys who aren't exactly lighting it up on G5 teams at this point.

Re: Heisman Race
It's funny that both LSU (Bradyn Swinson is highest graded per PFF) and Auburn's (DJ James) best defenders are former ducks, though.canaduck wrote:Was just recently checking in on how MC guys are performing that transferred out has convinced me they were not evaluating talent at a high level.

Re: Heisman Race
Yeah- I can't help but wonder what these two might have done under Tuioti and Martin.StevensTechU wrote:It's funny that both LSU (Bradyn Swinson is highest graded per PFF) and Auburn's (DJ James) best defenders are former ducks, though.canaduck wrote:Was just recently checking in on how MC guys are performing that transferred out has convinced me they were not evaluating talent at a high level.

Re: Heisman Race
I don't think Swinson would have made any difference. I think he'd be average among the edges that we have right now, and I'd rather those snaps go to guys like Tuioti and Purchase who are the future.
DJ James, though... Really wish we had him back. Him and Khyree starting would win us a lot of games.
