Heisman Trophy Finalists Officially Announced: Tua Tagovailoa, Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins

[BusSport]

The three finalists are who everyone expected:

ESPN: "Tua Tagovailoa, Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins announced as finalists for Heisman Trophy"

 

[BusSport]

The winner among the three finalists will be announced at the Heisman Trophy presentation in New York City this Saturday.

Murray can go ahead and clean a spot off of the shelf for it. Tua played himself right out of it Saturday.

Quarterbacks Will Grier for West Virginia and Gardner Minshew for Washington State were runners-up to be finalists.

Quarterbacks Gardner Minshew for Washington State and Will Grier for West Virginia were runners-up to be finalists.

Its cause they are white isn't it.

 

[BusSport]

Quarterbacks Will Grier for West Virginia and Gardner Minshew for Washington State were runners-up to be finalists.

That means this was a pretty quarterback-heavy year, as all top 5 vote-getters were quarterbacks, in contrast to many years in which there are running backs in contention.

Fuck it, here's the stats:

Dwayne Haskins

70.2 % Completion 4580 Passing Yards 9.2 Y/A 47 TDs 8 INTs 175.8 Efficiency Rating
122 rushing yards 4 TDs

Kyler Murray

70.9 % Completion 4053 Passing Yards 11.9 Y/A 40 TDs 7 INTs 205.7 Efficiency Rating
892 rushing yards 11 TDs

Tua Tagovailoa

67.7 % Completion 3353 Passing Yards 11.4 Y/A 37 TDs 4 INTs 202.3 Efficiency Rating
190 rushing yards 5 TDs


Really don't see how anyone can justify Murray NOT getting the Heisman: more overall yards, higher yards per attempt, higher efficiency rating, etc.

 

[BlueDevil]

All year long Tua seemed to be the clear front runner but on paper Murray has far exceeded him this season and honestly should win it.

 

[lilhook]

It should be

Murray
Haskins
Tua

but the media already handed it to Tua 6 months ago so idk

Current odds

Kyler Murray -190
Tua Tagovailoa +150
Dwayne Haskins +6000


Amazing how things change in a week

Looks like Oklahoma will have to clear out some more room at Heisman Park

 

[LSU02]

OU didn't know... two years in a row.... or so it would appear.....

So basically a gay sausage fest. I'll pass.

Honestly I’d still give the edge to Tua.

Negative , Ghost Rider. Big time players make big time plays in big time games and Tua shit the bed in the biggest game of the season. Watch out next season tho, these fucks are gonna be on a different level.

 

[Scapegoat]

Honestly I’d still give the edge to Tua.

I'll believe Tua isn't going to win when I see it.

They don't even have Mayfield's statue up yet:

It'd be Mark Ingram-level robbery if he does
