Wow, Heisman Trophy awarded and no threads on it

I remember when it was debated for weeks. The show was a ratings smash. Everyone was excited.

Amazing how it has fallen and become pretty irrelevant.
This year was kind of blah. Not sure there's a trend yet. There wasn't really a Heisman moment. The favorites got blown out in their last game and backed into it. Williams won both for his body of work and leadership, but who saw a USC game this year? I thought Duggan should have been given more consideration, but he came out of nowhere and plays for a non-Blue-Blood.

Just read that four of the last six winners were transfer players. That could be a big part of the equation. Hard to have a large fan base of kids that are moving around all the time.
 
Probably the biggest list of no-names in recent memory. The USC and OSU kids were the most recognizable but really no one stood out.

Agree. Always the love affair with the same schools.
 
What especially sucked was that the 2K+ yards threshold somehow automatically triggered giving the award to Salaam over Ki-Jana, but it was conveniently overlooked when Larry achieved it.

Take a look at USC’s schedule and tell me he was the best player in college football. ESPN just doesn’t pass the eye test, anymore.
 
Some years have multiple well known and deserving players. Some years have a bunch of really good players, but none of them had what feels like a “Heisman” season. This is one of those years. Williams is a great player and projected top pick in the 24 draft but just a blah list of finalists.

Haven’t paid attention to it in years. It’s like the vote for prom king, popularity contest.
