re: Explain Marvin Harrison being a heisman candidate to me like I’m 5

aving a FCS level defense is held against Daniels when it comes to the Heisman.

This is benefitting Daniels as every game is a shootout and elevating his numbers

He’s extremely talented and a more “pro-ready” prospect to most people apparently. He didn’t have a Heisman caliber QB throwing to him…He is a great WR and had very good production, but also benefitted on not having another great WR taking passes away from him.

I have no problem with Harrison being a Heisman finalist. kid is super talented and will immediately be an impact player at the next level. that said, I feel like part of the reason he’ll be in NYC is they wanted someone to represent the Midwest (B19) who isn’t a QB and he’s the best player who fits that criteria imo.

I get what you’re saying, but otoh, the fact that OSU didn’t really have another top-end WR to pair with Harrison this year meant opposing defenses could key in on him and they did so all season long. pretty clear that UM was going to do everything they possibly could to not let Harrison Jr beat them and he still had a big game.
