Aidan Hutchinson is no doubt a good player, but Georgia's offensive line easily handled him and made him a non-factor. Whereas, Will Anderson posted a pair of sacks and a number of other tackles that effected the outcome of the game in a meaningful way. The fact that Anderson didn't even get invited to the ceremony just shows you how much of a joke some of these Heisman voters are. Few of them actually watch football beyond their beat.

Andersons had the second most 1rst place votes behind Bryce. That tells you everything you need to know.

I am so tired of seeing Hutchinson's face on TV. He will get manhandled in the NFL.

It is a crime they served up the Hutchison narrative just because they didn't want two Bama guys as finalist again, or what it should have been which Bama finishing 1,2 in the voting.

Heisman voting is all about narrative. Hutchinson was a good not great player all year and had a huge game against Ohio State. And the media hypes nothing up more than B1G rivalry games. It was set in stone at that point.

It is so funny cause, I still think the kid is good but Will, Thibs and Davis are clearly better at this stage. It is crazy how they ran with it for Heisman, Ohio State/Michigan narrative.

Just because Hutchinson didn't play last night is no reason to bash him.

Anderson can make a huge statement Jan 10 about what defensive player should have been at the Heisman ceremony.

The whole season has been a statement. Look at the numbers. 31 doesn’t need to do anything more to prove himself.

This. 97 tackles, 17.5 sacks, and 31 tackles for loss.

I'd like to see him play next year. I don't want to encourage opt-outs.

Lol, clearly better.? That’s ridiculous. Hutchinson does not have the support around him that Will or Davis does. Davis looked like Chet from weird science vs Bama. Match-ups, game plans etc etc can make things look a particular way. Hutchinson is an elite player and great athlete...every bit as athletic as Will. Hutchinson runs low 4.6 with the strength ...gonna test excellent at the combine.

Will certainly deserved to be in NY and was at least the 3rd best player in the country.

That’s too logical for some.

Yes clearly better. Lawrence Taylor was clearly better than Michael Strahan that doesn't mean they both aren't Hall of Famers. Their performances across their careers and this season were better. They were more disruptive and more impactful than Hutchison was all season except for 2 games in my opinion. Hutchison has a first round pick on the same defensive line in David Ojabo, Michigan has talent. It isn't like I'm saying the guy is a scrub or you should dismiss him off one game. I said he was a top ten pick and should have finished 6th or 7th in the Heisman. The kid is good. He isn't the second best player in the country. He has been great but those guys performed better. I
am sure he will perform great at the combine and probably go two, I don't have any problem with that, but I think Will, Davis, Thibs are the cream of the crop over him. Hell I would probably take Jermaine Johnson over him, but I never said he wasn't a great player.

Come on Carlton

Davis is a good player but “clearly better”? Davis is a run stopper and played just 36% of UGA’s defensive snaps. He gets winded easily. The best player on UGA’s defense is Dean.

I agree Dean is clearly the best player on UGA's team, that doesn't mean if I had a choice between drafting Davis or Hutchison I would pick Hutchison because Dean is a better player. If I drafting regardless of position on the line I am taking Will, Thibs, Davis and Johnson before Hutchison.

If you are talking who had the better year, I can accept because he played limited snaps you believe Hutchison had a better year and was a better player than Davis. I still believe watching UGA and Michigan throughout the course of the season Davis was more disruptive and more impactful.

Davis is a one trick pony. He can’t play every down. Hutchinson can. If Davis played on any number of other defenses he would be relatively unknown. I don’t why you would see him as a better pro prospect.

If this is becoming a Davis vs Hutchison debate then I concide. Hutchison had an equal if not better year, they are at least equals as college talents on their impact and their NFL careers will bear that out. I have a strong suspicion Davis is a poor man's Gilbert Brown who is just in the right place at the right time.

Mid-western bias ever since 1935 when Jay Berwanger from U of Chicago won it. Charles Woodson, Archie Griffen probably should’ve have won twice.

Michigan v OSU we’re one of the few on national TV back in the day and with a lot of the media located in the Midwest the voting was slanted toward those players, ND, Michigan, OSU, lots of southern bias and segregation cost southern players a shot
