Will a big game Saturday put Max in the Heisman race?

no

While I like the enthusiasm, I don't think a win at home over a rebuilding Auburn team will get him there. It's about the optics in this race as well, and LSU hasn't exactly had a storybook season. Factor in last years mess and I'd say he needs to beat everyone on the schedule, and give Bama all they can handle to sniff New York this year.

Not saying it can't happen, but the quality of opponents we have played so far, doesn't exactly paint a picture of what he's going to look like for the rest of the season. But I am pulling hard for him to do so, because as in 2019, as the QB goes, so does the team (in most cases).

His stats are ridiculous and he’s getting better each game. If we go 10-2 or 9-3 I can see him being in NYC

Because we throw the ball like 80% of the time. He doesn't make clutch plays, "normal" people (outside of P&G glass wearers) see most of his throws are under 15 yards and the receivers do the work.

I agree, go bet the farm.

because stats like bikinis do not show everything

If somehow that happens , yeah it’s possible.
He’s 2nd in the country in TD passes and top 15 in yards.

But LSU plays Bama , Tamu, UF, Arkansas…. so don’t put too much $ on it.

Whoa ! He is currently 3rd in the SEC QB rankings. Hiesman? No !

If we were 4-0, yes. Mediocre teams do not produce heisman candidates...

I'm just hoping for more consistency and want to see him adjust his deep throws. He's doing a very good job of putting an arc on his throws to make a catchable pass, but he needs to trust his WRs ability to run to the ball.

I know he doesn't have a cannon, but I don't think it's as much an issue of his arm strength as it is his perception of how far to throw. I'd rather see him overthrow a play or two just to loosen up the D.
