I can't believe I'm entertaining the question. JFF had not a single turnover and several "wow" passes.
Is it possible? No one really gave it much thought, but if he wins out (more plausible than beating Bama at Bama) what else would he have to do? He's still on pace to surpass Newton's record in total yardage.

I am not sure he will get it, but there is NO question he DESERVES it.
Easily best college player in the country this year.

No, But he can get a nice trip to NYC.

Highly doubtful; but he's practicing, nonetheless.

I think tonight sealed him the trophy.

Thankfully this board doesn't do the voting. We'll see what happens.

Not if K-State stays undefeated.

I am actually going to be pissed if he doesn't. Dude is legit and seriously fun to watch. Plays with no fear and a huge set of balls that is not scared of the big moment or the venue.

Klein is in the drivers seat to be sure.

Has a freshman ever been a finalist?

From the Wikipedia ....
quote:
No freshman has ever won the award. No sophomore won the Heisman in its first 72 years, at which point there were three consecutive sophomore winners: Tim Tebow in 2007, followed by Sam Bradford then Mark Ingram, Jr.. Only a few juniors have won the award, starting with the eleventh winner, Doc Blanchard in 1945.
Five players have finished in the top three of the Heisman voting as freshmen or sophomores before later winning the award: Angelo Bertelli, Glenn Davis, Doc Blanchard, Doak Walker, and Herschel Walker. Six players have finished in the top three as freshmen or sophomores but never won a Heisman: Clint Castleberry, Marshall Faulk, Michael Vick, Rex Grossman, Larry Fitzgerald, and Adrian Peterson. Four players have specifically finished second in consecutive years: Glenn Davis (second in 1944 and 1945, winner in 1946), Charlie Justice (second 1948 and 1949), Darren McFadden (second 2006 and 2007) and Andrew Luck (second 2010 and 2011).

Sup Skrangeo? Long time no see.

If he doesn't win it, it's simply because he IS a freshman. No logical reason to keep it from him. The only other guy in the conversation is Klein and Manziel has better stats with a much better signature win. Manti Teo? Please.

If K State loses, The trophy is up for grabs.

That trophy belongs to JFF unless he sucks it up next few games. Highway robbery if he doesn't get it.
