Heisman Predictions

He's one of a handful of truly deserving Heisman winners based on the idea THE BEST player wins the award. Peppers would be another one but he won't win it today.

Woodson sealed that award with an unbelievable performance against OSU. If jabrill had a game saving pick, return TD, and several big plays on offense, and mich won the game, he would win running away. Unfortunately that didn't happen. Although I DO think he is the best player, I don't think he brings home the hardware. Here's to hoping I'm wrong. Cheers and Go Blue!

Say Peppers is the best player. He isnt even the best player on his own team. Lewis is the best at his position. Peppers is good, but if he wants to win a heisman he will need far better stats at his position. The stats matter, and he doesnt have them.

Peppers is a Football triple-double every game. He and Lewis mutually benefit from and play off one another.

The original intent was for the best football player win the award but has been highjacked and turned into a qb or rb award for the most part with the exception of Woodson in 97 so you are fairly close to the mark with this one.

Below is a link to Jabrill's Heisman website produced by UM Football. He is a special player. All I can say is not one guy on that stage tonight could do what he did this season at the same level as Jabrill. Would love to see him get voted at least #2 in recognition that he is an all around great football player, not just the best at a single position. https://www.hei5man.club

if he were great at one position as opposed to mediocre at a bunch of them. I think he could have done it if he had been trained at 1 spot. I don't know which position that would be though? LB? S? I don't know.

I don't know -- might be easier for the media and voters to focus on just one set of stats (TDs, yards) but if it were a basketball award, Peppers would be playing all five spots on the floor and never on the bench. He's so well-rounded and talented, it would have hurt the team (presumably based on Harbaughs use) to limit him.

It is indeed a QB/RB- and stats-based award, which is why it is a joke of an award. It is supposed to go to the most outstanding player in football.

make sure you don't still think this awards for the best all around player, but rather for the player with a bunch of touchdowns in a power 5 conference

In a conference where no one plays defense. Thats how the two OU guys got on this list. Srsly Carr had a more impressive season than Weatbrook.

Big 12 stats should get a 0.75 multiplier. When the whole league colludes to not play defense, you can't just invite the guy who happened to have the most 600 yard passing games.

would get some votes... I don't know his stats but during our game they kept saying that he was the only player in the country with more than 700 rushing and 800 receiving yards. I think he returned punts and took wildcat snaps too. That versatility is what made me believe that both he and Jabrill would get invited... It's funny that #4 didn't get to go though - Fuck those guys.

The Hypeman sucks. Baker Mayfield is the token white guy this year and the best player in the sport won't win it. It will go to the 3-loss QB whose been 'favored' all season. I won't bother watching any of it and partly becuse watching Desmond accept it on the TV in the Thronson Lounge in SQ will never be topped. Go Blue!
