UGA game's impact on Lock's Heisman hopes

I always figured Lock had very little room for error if he wanted consideration, mostly because the national media and hype was going to circle around the major programs. Did the UGA performance knock him out for all intents and purposes? He was horrible but also hardly Heisman like, even if not all his fault.
The only thing I think would get him back in the discussion (besides playing stellar in the remaining 8 games) is playing outstanding and beating Bama.
Thoughts?

Scouts watch these games. The most common phrase of the broadcast was "off/thru the receivers hands . . ."

Dead. When was the last time the Heisman went to someone on an unranked team?

Well, they don't hand it out after 4 weeks but his chances were always very slim.
Would take a fantastic game vs Bama.
I expect he'll put up big numbers against the rest of our schedule.
We've got to get Hall healthy though. Starting to worry about that

We need to win out with the exception of Bama. But we woul have to shock the world with a win over bama or a last second win by them and tua not playing well.
I don’t think scouts thought Lock played poorly against uga. Look at the conversion to AO. Tight throw. Interception not his fault; fumbles were from people he couldn’t see. He ran the ball and showed toughness. His receiver EHall was obviously hurt. Coach should have replaced him. Scouts know this and make a note in the margin.
His chances for the Heisman are 5% or under. Top 5 pick 95% or better.

Screw the Heisman. Only a few of the winners go on to have successful careers in the NFL.

I don't think it's dead but a monster game would have put him in the front pack.

If he personally destroys Bama and we win out...he has a good chance.
Other than that, his chances are 1% now.

agree. he didn't put the team on his back, and that's the kind of thing, win or lose, needed to get a Heisman.

Louisville went 9-4 the year Lamar Jackson won the Heisman yeah he put up video game numbers against clemson and the rest of the ACC besides a couple games but I still think if Lock has a big game vs Bama I still think the Heisman is not out of the question. Hopefully Hall will be 100% by then

I feel like that's cause his receivers dropped the ball.

You're right, Lock could have had a decent night if the bad drops had been completions, even without YAC. I just meant that to win a Heisman on a less-than-elite team, you have to constantly carry the team. going 4-and-out late, instead of finding a way to move the team down the field, was a big setback for him. even in a loss, had the team had an impressive drive to pull within 1 score late, that's the kind of thing that fits a familiar narrative.

Don't forget that at 6'5 that Lock had 3 passes blocked at the line of scrimmage and he fumbled multiple times. He's still looked at as a very good qb, because even the great ones have bad games every once and awhile.

Lock isn’t 6’5.
The fumbles are just as much on the receivers and Paul Adams as Lock.

You have to move around in the pocket to buy the wrs some separation time. That pass that was intercepted was a laser before the receiver was ready.
