JD should be the first name out of every Heisman voters mouth, why isn't it? Even in the 3 loses he was excellent. I think LSU should be pusing harder for much more exposure and more attention. And don't pull him early when he puts the game out of reach, it's a numbers game, so let him put up ridiculous numbers so they have no choice but to take notice.
