Weather is a factor but I would have never thought this awful BC team would be leading Va Tech

A lot better qualified than Travis Hunter, DeVonta Smith, and Desmond Howard by a mile.
I mean, I don’t know how you put Devonta Smith in a bucket with Mushmouf. The Slim Reaper led the nation in catches (117) yards (1856) and TDs (23) his senior season and then there was this:

“Six days after winning the Heisman, Smith helped Alabama win the CFP title with 12 receptions for 215 yards and three more scores, all in the first half (a finger injury forced him to miss the second half, but he was still named Offensive Player of the Game).”

Howard caught 61 for 950 in an 11 game season. Extrapolating to Smith’s 13 game season, that’s about 73 for 1130.

J Smith is amazing - so was Devonta Smith and Devonta always brought it - and is still bringing it - in the big games

Considering that he's a 12th year senior and getting paid more than the entire crew of the Nimitz, I'm not real impressed by the Manning kid

Wait--Howard had 23 TDs and over 1700 all purpose yards. Jeremiah is better than both but you're not giving Desmond enough credit for what he did at Michigan. I feel like you intentionally left off the TDs including 19 receiving.

I didn’t. I’m hungry and wanted to eat my hoagie and didn’t have time. That said, he piled that up in a garbage league - no comparison between the early 90s era Big 10 and the 2010s SEC. Plus, what did Howard do in his national championship game compared to Smith’s 215 in a half against the Buckeyes

Oh that’s right

If we could factor that into the Heisman voting it would be a great point but it's not as you know.
You just wanted to take a shot at Howard but at least be accurate--there's not much difference when you compare their resumes prior to the vote

PSU has an opportunity the next few weeks to show out in the B1G. Oregon is down. USC is questionable. OSU and Indiana can't put their feet on throats anymore. Other than the 2 mistakes (Reuters and MD), the talent seems to be spreading out more in the B1G.
