LSU needs a heisman winner

I'm really hoping one of these young studs can bring home a heisman in the next couple of years. LSU has done well to have 2 DB's in the last few years to get the invite to NY. However, we all know that defense has no real shot at winning. It's been a long time since Billy Cannon won it and LSU is due for another. Hopefully soon. It's obviously a huge honor, brings great publicity to the school, huge recruiting perk.
There's too much talent on campus right now for this to not be a realistic possibility in the next year or 2.

Fournette may be our answer.

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

Lsu only had 1 db invited to NYC, but whatever you're drinking, I'll have two of em.

You sure about that?

Honey Badger might have won in 2011. Especially after his performance in the SEC Championship game.

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?

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.

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.

IMO, the heisman is about as overrated as it comes.
