Hendo #1

For those of you who don't know, a bad case of covid 19 caused severe heart complications while he was at Va Tech that nearly required heart surgery and Hendon was told he might not ever play football again.

This is Tennessee 's year and we have a full grown man at QB who has overcome all odds to get where he is today.

Once we get past LSU, i have no doubt we will beat Bama after rewatching their game against Texas a few times.

He is the leader of the team and not scared of anything.

Watch him put down his shoulder when he runs instead of that pussy sliding shite.

Congratulations to Hendon Hooker for winning the September Heisman! He rightfully earned his place among the other elite September Heisman winning QBs of the past ten or so years: Matt Corral, Tua, and Geno Smith.

Congrats, once again.

Covid affects everyone differently. Most people are fine. Others get it bad.

Is that the guy that looked awful against UGA last year then lost to Purdue in a bowl game?

Daniels of Kansas has been more impressive.

Tennessee and their QB will fade from this list by November.

Leave it to Sports Illustrated to expect a Hooker to win the Heisman.

Oh a baseball joke. And what is LSU's recent head to head record against Tony V?

BS. Hendon is a very special player who will also thrive in the NFL.

Do you know that Hooker has only thrown 3 interceptions his ENTIRE time at Tennessee?

That has to be some sort of record.

Yeah, he's the guy who struggles with basic accuracy, so his coach has to use HUNH and mickey mouse concepts to help him out.


We've all seen how he performs once a real defense lines up. He's no Stetson, that's for sure.

Still early but based on the 4 weeks of football so far it seems right to me

Yeah because there's no way at all the GOAT and his elite roster will get better.

No way at all. None.

Let me take you on a trip down memory lane


quote:

No. 15 Ole Miss stuns No. 2 Alabama

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Ole Miss has, once again, upset Alabama.

The No. 15 Rebels beat the No. 2 Crimson Tide 43-37 on Saturday night at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa. The Rebels' victory came after upsetting Alabama at home last year and rewrites some ignominious history in a series that dates to 1894.

They now have wins against Alabama in consecutive seasons for the first time. Saturday's win was also their second victory ever in Tuscaloosa and the first since 1988, a streak of 12 games.

Leonard Fournette extends lead as Heisman favorite

LSU’s Leonard Fournette is the early-season favorite to win the 2015 Heisman Trophy, and it is not even close.
After a third consecutive 200-yard rushing performance, LSU’s Leonard Fournette has solidified his stronghold as the clearcut Heisman Trophy favorite in 2015.

Following yet another strong showing last weekend, Fournette has increased his odds to win the prestigious award to 1/2, significantly higher than his closest competition. The No. 2 favorites at the moment are Baylor quarterback Seth Russell and Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott, both of whom have been given 8/1 odds entering Week 6.

LSU tabbed No. 2 in first College Football Playoff ranking

LSU (7-0) was ranked No. 2 in the initial 2015 CFP rankings - the first of six - released Tuesday on ESPN.

Clemson (8-0) was No. 1 and Ohio State (8-0) No. 3, followed by Alabama (7-1), Notre Dame (7-1), Baylor (7-0), Michigan State (8-0) and TCU (8-0).



quote:

Alabama shuts down Leonard Fournette and LSU 30-16

Remember all the wailing and consternation when the College Football Playoff Top 25 was released? Alabama’s No. 4 ranking was premature last week. But after the Crimson Tide dominated LSU, there’ll be no quibbling — despite that loss to Ole Miss — when the selection committee has the Crimson Tide comfortably in the top four this week — maybe even No. 2.

Alabama RB Derrick Henry becomes new Heisman Trophy favorite in Vegas

According to Vegas, Alabama running back Derrick Henry is now the favorite for this year’s Heisman Trophy.
There’s still a lot of football to be played this season, but as things stand now, it appears Alabama running back Derrick Henry is the new frontrunner for the coveted Heisman Trophy. Henry had a great game last Saturday against LSU and turned the heads of the oddsmakers.

According to Brett McMurphy of ESPN, LSU running back Leonard Fournette, the favorite for much of the year, now trails Henry in the race for the award.


quote:

Ole Miss upends LSU for Tigers' third straight loss

It was another rough day for the Tigers, who were undefeated and in national title contention just three weeks ago. The Tigers have been outscored 99-47 in three straight losses to Alabama, Arkansas and the Rebels.



quote:

Leonard Fournette not named as Heisman finalist

Many were hoping to see LSU running back Leonard Fournette in New York this Saturday as a Heisman Trophy finalist, but Fournette was left off the short list.

Alabama running back Derrick Henry, Stanford running back Christian McCaffery and Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson are the three headed to the ceremony to battle for the coveted trophy.

When the season started, Fournette appeared to be a clear-cut favorite to win the Heisman Trophy.

He led the country in rushing, had three-straight 200-plus yard rushing performances and the Tigers were 7-0.

The trip to New York took a hit once the Tigers lost their first game of the season to Alabama, where Fournette rushed for only 31 yards. He followed that up with a 91-yard outing in a loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks.

He did finish the season with back-to-back 100-yard games, however.

Fournette also set the school’s single-season rushing record against Texas A&M, where he rushed for 159 yards, breaking Charles Alexander's 1977 rushing record.

Fournette finished the regular season with 1,752 yards and 18 touchdowns.

Fournette has another chance to win the Heisman when he returns for his junior season in 2016.
