If we win out does Mett have a shot at the heisman?

If he can keep up this pace and the team wins out, he should get consideration, especially if he torches bama. It would include late season wins over bama and A&M.

There are more elite College football players than I can remember. Especially at the QB position.

He'll start making those heisman watch lists if he dismantles Florida and Ole Miss en route to leading us to a victory over Bama

I think if he throws for 3500 yards and 30 TDs he might be invited, but even that is not likely in my opinion. There will be too many other players with similar stats and those other guys had their hype machines running full bore before the season even began.

You have to remember that the Heisman is more about perception and hype than being the best player in the nation. As much as i would love for him to win it he would have to put up numbers that would make it impossible for them not to give it to them for that to happen.

it's gonna be hard to win the Heisman this year if you are not in the n.c.g. in my opinion.

I hear he is quite good with a sling shot.

You my friend have a very strong grasp for the obvious. He still lacks that "Heisman moment" but he will have plenty of opportunities coming up. The team just needs to keep winning and the offense needs to keep up the scoring barrage. Fun to watch! Geaux Tigers.

Needless to say LSU will need to win big over Fl, and OM. Mett will need 300yds each game and 8-10 total TDs. THEN, absolutely must dominate 'Bama with his arm as LSU puts up 30+ in a win in Tuscaloosa. THEN he must clearly outplay Manzeil on national TV as LSU rolls A&M - 300+ yds and 4 TDs. Roll Arky with another 300+ 4td performance. FINALLY put up big numbers in SECCG and clearly outplay Murray (or someone else if GA falters) by putting up big numbers.

All of this hinges on the Defense starting to play much better.

Then, after all of that, he must hope that one of the 5 or 6 guys currently ahead of him falter in some way.

I think the better question is has he started to play himself into the #1 pick in the draft? Heisman trophy's are great, but a $25M NFL contract is much more useful. Perform like I lay out above and Mettenberger will have earned his grandchildren a cush life.
