Having an actual rooting interest in the Heisman results sucks.

I want Jeanty to win more than anything.

Watching the national discourse all coalesce behind Hunter makes me crazy. I know I'm biased, but damn. Hunter had a small handful of highlights, and everyone fawns over them liked it's their best thing they've ever seen.

I watched every carry of Jeanty's season. I saw him with no holes, yet getting 4 yards. I saw him battle 9 man fronts and still get yards.

Just because someone hasn't played 100 "snaps" a game before we are supposed to think that's amazing.

Last case for Jeanty over Hunter for Heisman

I know it's redundant at this point with votes being in and most (if not all of you) are already on the Jeanty train, so do what you will with this (it helped pass the time on a slow work day). No matter who wins Saturday the debate will continue about who got robbed.

  • Hunter has played 0 games against currently ranked opponents. Jeanty has played 3 (with 529 yards and 5 TDs, BTW). I tried finding the last time a Heisman winner didn't play against a team that finished the regular season ranked. I went back to 1999 and couldn't find one. Most played at least three. Everyone outside of Lamar Jackson in 2016 played at least two. So if Hunter wins, it would end a 25+ year streak of the Heisman winner playing against a team that was ranked going into Bowl Season. Jeanty winning would keep the streak alive.
  • In 4 games against FBS teams with a winning record, Hunter has 3 touchdowns on offense (2 were against Colorado State, for what it's worth). On defense Hunter had 1 pick and 0 PBU in those four games. Jeanty, against 6 FBS wining teams, has 18 touchdowns and 1,214 yards.
  • I'll give Hunter credit for his defense, I can't make a sound argument saying he's anything less than good. But him winning the Bednarik Award, given to the best defender, doesn't make sense. The last three defensive backs to win that played on defenses that were 10 top in points and passing yards allowed. Colorado is outside top 30 for just about everything.

Going into today, I thought Hunter was a great player. Now I'm questioning how good he is. On offense he stat pads against bad teams and on defense he's good, but nothing suggests he's overly impactful or a rare talent. His main argument is how often he's on the field, but giving someone an award for playing a lot usually comes in the form of participation trophies and xbox achievements.

Patch

Does anyone know if we’re wear a cfp 2024 patch or a fiesta bowl patch on our jerseys? Getting one for keepsake and figured I’d add one to it

Popularity contest of awards

I just… I’m like so close to crashing out lol.

Tell me it's all going to be ok!

This team is really good. I honestly think this team could hang with anyone. This isn't the first time I felt that way about a BSU team. But definitely the first time within in recent years. Our coaching staff is doing a great job. Honestly worried Danielson gets an offer he can't refuse. I'm also worried about replacing Koetter. I guess all I can do is enjoy it while it last...
