re: What is it really going to take for Mathieu to win the Heisman?

Woodson's win was a fluke.

He made 3 huge plays,
that basically single-handedly won the game,
against a bitter rival,
in the last game of the season,
in primetime television,
in the biggest game of the year,
the week before ballots were cast.

TM7 would have to get a turnover and defensive touchdown in every single game from here on out,
Plus, have some special teams TD's,
And, have a lifetime game against Bama and Arky.

It's not impossible, but it's virtually impossible.
