Since it stipulates his senior season then that would be the 2026 Heisman

Since he is very unlikely to be in East Lansing in 2026, it doesn’t seem that outlandish that he’d compete for the Heisman that year. Lots of guys have that potential… those who find teams that are, you know… good… have a chance… right?

Not necessarily. Notre Dame’s Golden Boy, Paul Horning, won a Heisman while playing on a mediocre team.

You and I both know that only happened because it was Notre Dame AND it was that era AND that it will never happen again.

EDIT: Mediocre sounded wrong but I had to look it up... it's been too long to remember

The 1956 Notre Dame team was 2-8. Not mediocre at all. They outright sucked.

So yeah... No team that loses 80% of their games will ever again come anywhere near producing a Heisman Trophy winner.

And while we're on the subject... Paul Hornung needs to give Jim Brown his Heisman in exactly the same way that Doug Flutie needs to hand the 1984 Heisman to the rightful winner, Keith Byars.

And to bring this back on topic...

The B1G's best chance for a Heisman this year is probably Oregon's quarterback.

I'll take, "Sentences I never thought I'd type for $1000, Alex"

Glad you looked it up as I couldn’t remember how bad they were that year. Also points out how dominant ND was in the media then. Big part of why I loath them.
