Seriously doubt it...WRs don't get no love.Man, will CeeDee Lamb get an invite?
A couple of 150 to 200 games against the right people would get him right back in the mix.Taylor was eliminated last week, in only rushing for 80 yds against Sparty.
He'd have needed at least 100 yds rushing in every game to have had a chance.
However, Wisconsin hasn't been playing to win Taylor the Heisman, they've been playing to win the Big 10.
That’s a very amateurish view.Taylor was eliminated last week, in only rushing for 80 yds against Sparty.

It is for now, but that worm will eventually turn too. FWIW, Troy Davis from Iowa State became the first running back to run for 2,000 yards (in an 11 game season) to not win the Heisman in 1995 (finished 5th) and the first back to back 2,000 yard rusher (in 11 games) to not win the Heisman in 1996 (finished 2nd). He did this in a League known for great running backs at the time. Also, he didn't win the Doak Walker either year! Just bad timing on his part, but he was the start of the McCarney Era - which helped Iowa State get out of the two decade funk they were in. He made Iowa State football fun again! Enjoy Taylor and what might be a magical Badger year remembered forever!That’s a very amateurish view.
He’s been slowed down a couple of times, but his team won both games comfortably (38-0 in that instance). But that happens when a defense puts 8-9 in the box to stop the run.
He’s still helping his team win, because it’s his presence in the backfield that forces defenses to do that and opens up the passing game.
I’m with others who said that if he’s not in the conversation so far, let’s just make this a QB award and be done with it.

Here is another point, both running backs and QBs need really good offensive lines to succeed. But QB need at least 2 and usually 3 other top players (the receivers) to succeed. When Taylor breaks a 50 yard run, once pass the line he is on his own.I don’t see how they could keep Jonathan Taylor out of the conversation. He has 11 tds thru 3 games and is on pace to break 2,000 yards again on the ground and already set a career high in receptions this year thru 4 games.
Yes.I wonder if having the last two winners will hurt Hurts chances.
Yes.
That and the fact that Tua consistently has to play against better defenses.
Works for Taylor also.Given that criteria, Fields should be at the top of the list since the best defenses this year are in the B1G.
Right Now I think ESPN has it right.
1.Burrow
2. Tua
3. Hurts
I’ve only watched 2 or 3 of his games but at Bama he was Either Calvin Ridley is open or I’m running it. Is he CeeDee Lamb or run at OU?That is ridiculous. OU fans were getting pissed at Hurts this weekend. He is was the biggest reason it was only a 7 pt game. He is exactly what he was at Bama. He is a good runner and if his 1st read isnt there he is not very good. He threw 12 passes to CD for 10 catches and 171 yards. He was 6 -16 for 64 yards to everyone else. CD is easily the best player on the team. It isnt even close.
