Both have had wonderful performances and each has 2 more to go. As incredible as Joe has been, Clyde has been the bigger surprise for me. I thought by the 3rd or 4th game, he’d be struggling for playing time. Boy was I wrong! We have been the beneficiaries of the perfect football storm. Now let’s finish this off right.

No one expected absolute destroying of SEC records so I gotta go with Joe.

All of the above, from the O line to the WR corps to clyde and Joe and the O it's self. No one could have guest that our O would be this good, no one!

Joe. I knew he was going to be better than last year but I can't say I saw him rewriting SEC passing records and winning the Heisman. Even until his name was announced I was nervous they would find a way to give it to someone else.

Joe because as much as I love clyde the odds are we will have other young running backs who outperform what we thought they could do and do what Clyde has done this year. We may never see another transformation like Joe Burrow has done.

For me it was Clyde. While I obviously had no idea how good he would be I expected Joe and this offense to take major steps. While in the case of Clyde I honestly expected him to be passed up on the depth chart by mid-season. Not only has he proven to be our best back he has proven to be an absolutely elite back and in a long line of elite running backs at LSU has a case as a top 5 guy here. Would have never thought that as a possibility at the beginning of the year.

Joe's level of domination for sure. Clyde has been a beast too.

Joe..as in Brady..was the biggest surprise. I had no idea if we could or would run an offense like this. Neither Burrow or Clyde would have had close to this kinda year without Brady. But I’m happy for both.

Both did so well, but Clyde seems to have gotten faster. Being slow was the knock i had on him from last year and earlier this year. Both young men are dedicated to this team and to winning.

Neither surprised me, I could easily see it last year. The WR's surprised me most. I mean, they were actually running patterns and catching the ball.

Clyde...I thought he would be a really good back but he was incredible. He made some game winning plays this year.

I thought JB would shatter the LSU records but had no idea he would shatter SEC records. What a great season it has been.

Clyde... I knew Joe was a baller. Clyde has outplayed my wildest expectations. That sideline catch and run after against Bama was spectacular. I have not seen anything like it since Addai vs Florida in 2004.

What ever happened to Buckeye Joe? He knew what was going to happen and called it. Makes you wonder who that guy really was doesn’t it?

I just remember watching the opener going, "Who is this and what did they do with our offense?!?"

I'd say both have been great stories, but there's NO WAY I thought LSU would have a Heisman QB in 2019 (or maybe ever).

Joe Burrow and it’s not close. I always thought Clyde was a good back. This offense just showcased what he is great at.

I knew Joe would be better than last year but no one could have seen this season coming except for Joe Burrow himself.

I expected both to be solid.

Clyde had a solid season as expected. Joe had a season for the ages.
