Update from tonight's awards

[Bleeding Red]

I am going to make one comment:

Tua looked good against those FCS schools and the mediocre to poor SEC teams he played against. When he faced a good Georgia defense he crumbled.

Not saying he isnt a good player, obviously he is, but Murray and Haskins are 10 times the player Tua is and if Tua wins the Heisman its because ESPN promoted this guy and shoved him down everyone's throat all year.

They talk about how Tua didnt play many 4th quarters and his numbers could be even better. Same could be said with Haskins. He may have went over 5500 yards. Murray was in shoot outs all year because of their poor defense at OK.

If Tua wins the Heisman, its the ultimate cherry on top of the sham that is college football today.

wow no buckeyes.

Even as a diehard OSU fan, I definitely disagree with this. I honestly believe that the Heisman is a toss up, I don't know that anyone has a complete edge. The only edge would be that Tua and Murray's teams both made the playoffs, so I can't see Haskins winning it.

Going through and looking at the stats, Tua had just one poor game all year, which was against Georgia, when he got injured.

For me, this award is a toss up.

Come on dude.

Louisville (Home), Arkansas St (Home), MISS, A&M (Home), LA-Lafeyette (Home), Arkansas, Missouri (Home), Tenn, LSU, MS State (home), CITADEL (Home), Auburn (Home).

Then Georgia.

8 home games. Only 8 conference games.

Dont drink all the Koolaid that ESPN is pushing down your throat.

In Bama's big win over Georgia, Tua played awful. In both OSU's and OU's losses, both QB's still played well and had great stats.

There is a big difference in the 3. The major difference is how ESPN (Direct SEC affiliate) put Tua on the podium since week 1.

I am not saying that he didnt have a good year and deserves to be a finalist, but he certainly doesnt deserve to be the winner. Stat wise, schedule wise, etc.

[FANOSPORTS]

Kentucky, LSU, Alabama, Georgia and Texas A&M on the board for the SEC and Locksley just left Sabans staff for the Maryland job (will Coach thru Bama's bowl games though).

Believe me, I'm not drinking any SEC/ESPN koolaid. They played some really bad teams where he looked really good. But he also looked good in other games. I agree, he absolutely did not play well against Georgia (an elite defense). But, a big factor in Heisman voting goes into team success as well. So, with that being said, I'd say it's him or Murray who wins it since both teams made the playoff.

[noreply66]

Don't some of these voters vote early. Some might have already voted before bammers QB bad day. Plus OSU QB wasn't thought to be that strong of a contender until the Meatchicken game. If some voted really OSUs QB is out.

[Chieftain2009]

Murray wins the Heisman.

[Chieftain2009]

Josh Allen keeps racking up the postseason awards, as he was award the Lott Impact Award last night.

Some people just will not take off their scarlett and gray goggles.
