Is there any “real, legit” talk yet about the Heisman?

No and there shouldn't be.

Why? I am genuinely curious about your thoughts.

Sure there is ‘talk’. Is it real, yes. Is it legit, hard to say at this point.

For starters the UGA game and not scoring any TDs is a terrible look. Off the top of my head, I don't know any QBs that had a 2 INT, 0 TD game that have won it or been in contention. I could be wrong and Tebow could have had a game like that (where he likely had 3 rushing TDs in a win...) but ultimately even a dramatic win over USC in the P12 CG is not going to outweigh that loss in the eyes of voters.

The 2nd reason is that there are a TON of QBs who are all having pretty statistically amazing seasons and while Bo has had some nice deep throws, he's not running a Pro-Style offense that is requiring him to make any complex reads and throws but rather get the ball out quickly to play-makers. In college, that's great to have someone play that PG role but throwing tunnel screens does not typically account for Heisman worthy seasons.

I do believe he's on pace for 1st team P12 which would be extremely impressive this season relative to seasons past.

If you watched the pregame shows and heard all the blather about DTR, then yes there very well should be talk about Nix as dark horse.

Dude, seriously?

He should be in the discussion for sure.
Add in his rushing stats and he's the best QB in the Pac this year.
Penix has a lot of yards. Williams has the USC name. DTR has been good but Nix outplayed him head to head.

Stroud is the leader right now, with Hooker close behind. nationwide. The Alabama QB missed two games. There are no obvious rbs. If Oregon makes the Pac12 championship game then Nix must continue his high level of play and could get an invite to NY.

That's so utterly preposterous to make it a racial thing.

I bet the DTR hype is because he plays in LA...the 2nd largest city and 2nd largest metro area in the country. Major media market.

That's definitely playing a part.

Yeah, here are the current odds for the Heisman.

Hendon Hooker (Tennessee) -115
CJ Stroud (Ohio State) +200
Blake Corum (Michigan) +1400
Caleb Williams (USC) +1400
Bo Nix (Oregon) +2500

If the Ducks win out, it is very plausible Nix could work his way up to the top 3.

Thanks
