After HB7 didn't get it last year I don't see how any defensive player will ever get it.


Because he wasn't even the best player at his position on his team. He definitely had the big play factor which is what got him to NY but he finished about where he should.

I like ND and Te'o but it's absurd he is a legit candidate to win this award.

Manziel is the only legit Heisman caliber player this year.

Claiborne was definitely the superior cover guy, but it's pretty hard to argue that Mathieu wasn't our best player last year. He was our most dynamic play maker and a catalyst for a lot of our momentum. Did Claiborne have a more significant play than:

- PR's vs Georgia
- PR vs Ark
- Strip and score vs Oregon
- INT return to the 1 vs WVU

Each play played a huge part in LSU winning the respective game. I guess Mo's most game-changing play was the INT vs Bama?
