Lewerke as Heisman Candidate?
MSU QB Brian Lewerke getting some pre-season hype as a Heisman candidate:
MICHIGAN STATE QB BRIAN LEWERKE, JUNIOR Lewerke will begin his second season as the Spartans’ starting QB in a favorable position to build up Heisman momentum. Not only does Michigan State look set to mount a challenge to Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State in arguably the toughest division in the Power 5 leagues (the Big Ten East), it brings back its top three receivers and four starters on the offensive line from the group that rebounded from a dismal 2016 season to win 10 games last fall. Lewerke’s output as a runner and passer could keep him in the Heisman mix, provided the Spartans make good on their preseason expectations by staying in the playoff hunt.

I honestly don't see it.
Last year MSU was 8-0 when Lewerke threw 35 or fewer passes. MSU was 1-3 when Lewerke threw 36 or more passes.
A Heisman candidate needs to be able to put his team on his shoulders. Anytime Lewerke had to put MSU on his shoulders, they lost.
Ill start making fun of Sparty when we beat them 2 times in a row or more (again)...is that possible under Dantonio? Hell just beat them this year!
...a newsfeed item that Cardale Jones was inducted into Mensa.
...a sounder of pigs flying over Battersea Power Station.
...little, teeny, tiny icicles dangling from Satan's balls.

Lewerke as a preseason heisman hopeful? Yes, that's laughable.
Lewerke as an intriguing dark horse candidate? Plausible. It is a very dark horse, but a horse nonetheless.
Good thing we have ways to settle this.
a Heisman candidate last year. But given the jump in performance you can expect from his sophomore to his junior year, as well as the jump in performance from his supporting cast (almost all of which returns from a 10 win season), he probably will be this year. Along with 50 other guys at the start of the season.
Almost every JR. or SR. is a Heisman candidate in June
The only games he had over 250 yard games was when he threw atleast 50 passes. Hes good, nothing special
