re: By the logic of some here…shouldn’t Penix win the Heisman?

Daniels has 1,100 rushing yards, Penix has like -23.

The only real legit point in Penix’s favor is his team is undefeated. Even ignoring it’s an individual award, the argument somehow ignores that Penix was absolutely awful in their 15-7 win over hapless Arizona State. They won that game solely because of their defense. Penix was also pedestrian at best against Wash St and Oregon St. , both of which the Washington defense played very well and was why Washington won. It’s old news how awful LSU’s defense was in every game and how well Daniels played in the three losses, particularly against Ole Miss and Alabama. Maybe it is close, but if it is it’s ridiculous.
