He's not gonna win, but how the heck can you keep him out?

If he had struggled vs. Bama, I might could see the argument. But he's destroyed every defense he's faced minus second half FSU.


Just off-hand, do you understand what the requirements are to be considered for a Heisman trophy?

For instance, if the best QB to ever play the game, as Daniels likely is, were to belong to a team that had 8 loses, do you imagine that player would be eligible for a Heisman?

Hypotheticaly, let's say that Daniels has had 700 yards passing each game of the season combined with 5 TD's during each game, but still somehow had 8 losses or even 3 losses, is that player eligible for a Heisman?

Sure. It’s an individual award. Not a team award.

Tim Tebow is arguably the greatest CFB player of all-time. When he won the Heisman in '07 guess how many losses UF had?
