Heisman Award is Tonight.

Dugan or Williams

I don’t watch a lot of random games outside of the Big 10 but from what I’ve seen Caleb Williams from USC is pretty impressive

“What happened to the days of this award going to the best running back ?”

In order to get the best recruits the college game had to evolve into the minor leagues for the NFL. No more wishbone. They had to go spread offense and it’s been good for the game. It is evolved and elevated.

It's become the same as the NFL where "Most Valuable Player" in reality means "Most Valuable Quarterback"

Aside from the game against Utah Williams out at USC has been the best. Georgia just has a stacked team and while Bennett is a high quality qb I don't see him as elite, I think a lot of qbs could go 24-1 on that team. Stroud has been solid at OSU but he lacks the mobility and rushing ability that is almost necessary these days to be an elite qb. I haven't watched enough of TCU to really know much about Duggan but the couple of games I have seen him play he was impressive and the 3,300 yards with 30 td to 4 int Stat line is great.

In the end Williams has the best stats wth 4,000 yards passing, 47 combined touchdowns (37 pass 10 rush) and only 4 int and to me he has looked the best when it comes to the eye test of being the best. I'd be surprised if he doesn't win it.

Caleb Williams , USC, wins it. The kid must have expected to win since he wrote a very long acceptance speech.

Caleb is also the favorite to go #1 in the 2024 draft.

Has the award become somewhat less relevant?

I’m asking as a guy who isn’t that interested in college football. I’m just wondering if it’s still as big of an honor as it was years ago?

I would think it is significantly more relevant now. College players can now get NIL money. A Heisman is probably worth a few hundred thousand. And it's all legit now.

Thanks Warrior! It’s a direct benefit to the player financially. That’s an aspect I hadn’t thought of.
