Outside of the lazy 3-loss argument, the other argument is that Nix doesn’t have to play the 4th Quarter because his defense is good. These efficiency stats are nice to win that argument too.

Penix and Nix will hopefully split the west coast votes, and voters that think W/L is more important will split between those 2. They have very similar resumes. Im starting to think JD has a chance if his numbers hold up.(and if he can keep up the media push) His rushing stat is what separates him.

If Nix and JD swap teams, Oregon is undefeated and LSU is probably .500

JD > Nix

If Penix and JD swap, LSU still probably has a couple more loses than they do now.

JD > Penix

Oregon has 1 win vs a team with a winning record. I swear if Nix wins I will riot and never take the Heisman seriously going forward.

Marv is a great player. But he’s the only receiver putting up big numbers on that team, one could argue their QB force feeds him the ball as he should.

JD's pulling off some insane moves, feeding both Nabers and BTJ while hitting rushing stats like Lamar Jackson. It's pretty wild.

But give Harrison credit. He's racking up those huge numbers against the vaunted defenses of Rutgers, Maryland, Western KY, Youngstown St, Indiana, Purdue...All of whom are in the top 400 in defense. What a joke!

Not even close

Travesty if JD doesn’t win.

Assuming he puts up avg numbers last two games

I hate to say it, but it's absolutely true: If Oregon beats Washington in a rematch and sneaks into the playoffs, there is no chance Nix will not win the Heisman

I'm convinced either of those teams could win with Daniels.
I don't believe either, Nix nor Penix, could have led us to a winning season.

The recird argument is stupid. Its for the best player in the country which those stats indicate Daniels is putting up the best or equal numbers against better competition

The rushing yards will put JD on top. Gotta dominate A&M which he will do

Daniels will have a great chance to get some more separation on numbers this week against Georgia State.
