Obviously.

I really think Johnny Football is a ridiculous talent. And he's got a helluva future in front of him. I just don't think this is his Heisman year. It's so much about coming up big in big games, and he only did that in one of three.

It doesn't have anything to do with my LSU fanhood (seriously).

And what other candidates have come up big in their big games? And not been mediocre in any of their other games?

Teo did nothing today against Wake Forest.
Barner did nothing against Stanford
Miller was not great today against WI
Lee will be on an unranked 5 loss team.

I'm not saying this to discredit anyone winning the Heisman this year, but it's not exactly a huge year for star players in general. Lot of very good players out there, but will likely be a lot spread out votes and no run away winner.

Media plays into when it comes down to the final weeks, and Klein will see the effect of it negatively while Manziel rides a wave of momentum from the Bama game. I believe they are more likely to give it to a Freshman than a Defender that doesn't play special teams. They softened to sophomores, so Freshman will be that way eventually.

Lot of pressure on him though, he wins it that early and still has 3 years to live up to that standard. I don't think he leaves early, so I think it's 3 more years. It won't be another Archie Griffin situation as in they feel "obligated" to give him another because he was a returning player with good stats...
