This ground swell is too little too late unfortunately. Ballots have to be in on Monday Dec 5, I would hazard a guess that a lot are already in.
The voters have had to decided between a good kid with impressive stats in the SEC, albeit not against good competition. Vs a great kid with more stats than just 7 INTs as an LB, all the intangibles are immeasurable.
Freshman winner vs first pure defensive winner ever. Neither one is acceptable with a 3rd player as a jr or sr with similar stats.
I won't be completely sad if Johnny Football wins, could be the next 2 time winner. However, if they are actually going to give the award to the mottosake of the award, you give it to T'eo. No questions asked.
The Heisman trust has the ability to do this year what it has failed to do in years past. And that is to award the the trophy to the "the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity. Winners epitomize great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work."
Do the right thing.
