Blake Corum's Heisman odds
He's been moving up, and is poised to move into 3rd. But catching up to where 1st and 2nd are will take some doing. At this point, if these odds hold true, he could be a finalist and in New York for the ceremony. He's going to need some really big games to win it. Hendon Hooker came from the backwater in odds just a few weeks ago to now being ready to lead the odds. His big game against Alabama made people take notice. He faces Georgia next week.
I'm hoping Corum has a really big day today. But I'm keeping the powder of my expectations dry for him wining. I do have real hope for him to be a finalist at the ceremony.

He has to have a big game and we need to beat the nuts 🌰 or he ain’t got a chance unless Stroud totally falls apart !
October 29th, 2022 at 10:20 AM ^
Seeing Stroud lose out to Hooker and not get it again would be enjoyment of it's own.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:52 AM ^
But a Tennessee QB finishing 2nd again to a B1G player wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
October 29th, 2022 at 2:12 PM ^
Or even better, a Tennessee QB taking second to another Michigan non-QB. That plus MSU's justifiable yet delicious tears after Walker got jobbed. This is the way.
October 29th, 2022 at 6:05 PM ^
You had the better comment!
October 29th, 2022 at 11:17 AM ^
Getting top 3 is the victory here in really since we're talking about a RB. I do think in a 2 horse race between QBs the appetite increase for best non-QB to get an invite though, which helps!
October 29th, 2022 at 10:02 AM ^
There is an obvious path to the Heisman for Blake. He'll get it - almost for sure, really - if Michigan goes down there and he Biakabutuka's them and Michigan wins.
October 29th, 2022 at 10:09 AM ^
It's not gonna happen. Even if we beat Stroud, he'll still have big numbers in the game. Tennessee will probably falter and young missed some time, though if he leads bama to the sec title, he's probably back in it.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:05 AM ^
The Heisman is basically the best QB of the year award with the original Alabama running back winning it once in a while.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:20 AM ^
Even the Bama RB thing may be in the past. 2015 is a long way in the rear view mirror. Thought McCaffrey deserved it over Henry myself.
Blake's got a shot at 1900 yards and 23 TDs. Today would be a good day to go get 200 and 3.
October 29th, 2022 at 12:32 PM ^
Bryce Love couldnt win it rushing for 2100 yards and 19 TD It's almost impossible for a non QB.
October 29th, 2022 at 2:13 PM ^
Stroud is not garunteed to put up big numbers. They are looking weak against PSU right now.
October 29th, 2022 at 10:24 AM ^
I think Blake’s got a shot if he keeps putting up these numbers. He’s clearly huge to our success on a really good team.
October 29th, 2022 at 10:35 AM ^
Corum is hurt by the fact that he doesn’t have a douchy coach like day who focuses on amplifying his Heisman candidate’s numbers even after a game is already out of hand.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:25 AM ^
All Day I’ve been trying to figure out what douchy coach you might be referring to. In this Day and age of college football, and toDay of all Days-
Oh look; college gameDay is on…
(ed. oh I see you said day. It’s Day. Day’s the douchy dicky douche canoe)

150 yards and 3 touchdowns today. He’ll get a the trophy if we win out
October 29th, 2022 at 10:44 AM ^
Having another finalist would be pretty cool, even if he doesn’t win it.
October 29th, 2022 at 10:54 AM ^
Got my hopes up that Tennessee gets stuck in the mud vs Kentucky today. After 2 straight games against no defense I'm hoping they're looking past them, and their Heisman hype train finally gets derailed.
October 29th, 2022 at 6:07 PM ^
I’d rather Hooker wins it than Stroud. Assuming Blake doesn’t of course. If he continues on the way he has and Tennessee doesn’t lose or drops a close one somewhere where he still plays well I think he deserves it more than Stroud. I can buy his numbers being a little more legit considering the talent differential. The fun part is we will get to watch it play out.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:06 AM ^
This isn't the game that matters for Corum. The Game is the only chance he has, if he outplays Stroud, and if hooker is middling. Then Corum will vault to the top.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:13 AM ^
Hooker is going to get pimp slapped by UGA, and that will put him out of the running (late season recency bias)
If we beat OSU, that could be enough to put Corum ahead of Stroud
Young would be lurking though
October 29th, 2022 at 11:21 AM ^
"I'm keeping the powder of my expectations dry for him wining"
Here's hoping he's wining and dining in NYC soon.
October 29th, 2022 at 12:04 PM ^
I'd love to see him as a finalist. But one running back has won Heisman in past ten years. Going take some amazing performances and the QB frontrunners to have one or two lousy games.
October 29th, 2022 at 12:13 PM ^
Seeing Adrian Martinez on that list lets me enjoy the ineptitude of Scott Frost one more time.
October 29th, 2022 at 12:26 PM ^
He will be higher after he dusts these suckers today.
M 45 - Sparty 17
October 29th, 2022 at 1:21 PM ^
So I assume you are pond time. Every time you post it includes a capture from that twitter handle.
October 29th, 2022 at 1:47 PM ^
I’m betting if he has a 5 TD 200-300yard game for #2 OSU to go to the championship he’d be considered. He’s got to put a real show on at the end here though.
October 29th, 2022 at 2:38 PM ^
Stroud has effectively lost it today IMO. I’m sure the committee will somehow keep him as a front runner, but sheesh. First actual balanced team he’s faced and he’s put up one TD in 3 qtrs
October 29th, 2022 at 2:48 PM ^
To be fair to Franklin, now we know why Franklin didn’t kick that field goal earlier. Kicker sucks
October 29th, 2022 at 10:10 PM ^
Hanging serious brain tonight
