I don't see LSU every giving their backs or QBs the stat padding needed to win the trophy. Sorry.

Then explain how Mark Ingram won it?

See I would have thought that before cam got here. But he completely changed our offense last year.

The Heisman is now the ESPN hype machine award. As a fan, I don't respect the award as I did in my younger days.

LSU needs a heisman winner
They need one? What happens if they don't get a heisman winner?
Or is this just a way for you to say you'd like to see a LSU player win the heisman?

If he would go over 100 against Wisconsin in the opener they might commission the statue
he would have to break 200+, and Miles won't give a freshman the carries for that...I would love to be wrong though

No, he wouldn't have. If RG3 wouldnt have won it, then Andrew Luck would have

It's been a long time since Billy Cannon won it and LSU is due for another.
I agree with your sentiment, but it is an incredibly subjective award. Not to mention that many relevant programs have not even had one winner.
Many times it simply comes down to the biggest offensive impact player on the best team. It is also a highly stat driven award. This makes it difficult for QBs on a balanced offense to put up the right numbers. It also inhibits a great RB on a team that shares a lot of carries from winning.
If you look at manny of the finalists they are often playing in gimmicky offenses that produce lots of stats at a particular position. There is a reason why many recent Heisman winners have been average at best pro players.

Need, no they don't actually need it. Would it be beneficial? Absolutely. Certainly I would like to see this happen.

I do agree that Miles and Co. spread the ball around too much for any 1 player to get the stats needed, just hoping someone stands out enough.
Fournette may be a feature back next year for the most part since we didn't recruit a RB last year IIRC.
BTW, does he have a number yet?

I agree.
McCarron was like third or fourth in the heisman voting last year and his stats were pretty much mediocre compared to the other guys.
If we are an undefeated team and our QB has something like a 3500/500 40 TD stat total, I can definitely see it. Fournette would need around 1800 on the ground and at least 300 through the air with at least 24 total TDs to win.
