Nuss is going to win the Heisman.

Nuss is a great bet here if it is for just the 12 game season.

Nuss is actually really good value here. UGA and Texas both like to run and control the clock. Lane is very balanced as well and loves to run. The kid from Tennessee is good value Heupel loves to sling it.

I’ll take them odds. Beck lost all his receivers and they actually play a real college football schedule for the first time in 20 years.

Dare I say, back to back Heisman winners?

Gotta love our guy here. Jayden finished 2nd in the SEC last year, and that's without playing any postseason. 1st place (Carson Beck) finished with129 more yards, but he played 2 more games than Jayden did. Assuming Nuss can keep up with Jayden's pace in the passing game and plays at least 1 postseason game, there's a pretty damn good chance he'll finish 1st in this.

Yeah and Nuss isn’t going to have JDs rushing yards so there are more passing yards out there

I wouldn't say that at all. JDs passing numbers were insane. His yards per attempt were absurdly high. Even if Nuss hits Mett's 10.4 ypa, he would need 43 more passes. However with the more methodically approach we use this year, at best i see Nuss around 9.3 which would still be between 5th and 10th in the country over the last several years. You're talking 80 more pass attempts even being top 5-10 in the country in yards per attempt. Being realistic, he'll likely need 100 more passes than what Daniels had to reach the same milestone. On top of that, most of those Daniels runs are being converted into RB runs. I got Nuss at 3500 pass yards in 12 games which would have placed him 2nd in the SEC at that point last year.

Mett was extremely underrated. 10.4 YPA in a Les Miles offense isn't conceivable.
