If he just beats Florida, I'll be happy.

Spencer Rattler's odds are INSANELY overstated. These oddsmakers have apparently never seen the kid play before.

But, since this is Tennessee, he will still throw for 700 yards and rush for 200 against us. Heck, we habitually make non QB walk ons play like Heisman winners against us

I don't get that either. He's got the same issue Hooker has. His team probably won't win enough to keep him in the race.

Put me down for $1,000 on H2!

Lol. Like Clausen did in 2001?

 

[VolInNorthCack]

lol, who is that dude? He's awful. i could hardly listen to him for that brief segment.

 

[LTVol]

Not sure. All those records were lost in the great fire of 1893.

How convenient for him

I have a better chance to lay down with Jennifer Aniston then any Vol does at winning the Heistman trophy. Peyton, Jonny, I could go on. What a joke.

Not so, I heard your odds of laying with Jennifer were only 75-1.

Vegas published the factual statistical odds so obviously there is a specific chance.

That is an outstanding oxymoron - factual statistical odds. Odds are good that I will borrow that in the future.

To call that list of candidates "modified" is to be polite. I'm thankful Hooker is in the mix and it speaks highly of Heupel and Halzle and TN football but the full picture is not shown.

Looking at that full listing, it occurred to me that I didn't realize that Bo Nix had transferred to "Oregoon".

I think that's a great way to refer to Sasquatch in the northwest, personally.

Gonna be pretty much impossible for Hooker to win it without at least winning the SEC East. That's certainly doable since we return most of our starters, but it's a tall task with Bama, LSU, and UGA on the schedule. Pretty much have to go at least 2-1 in that stretch while beating the rest of the East.

I disagree about having to win the East for Hooker to have a shot at the Heisman.

Take 2012 Texas A&M as the model. They not only didn't win their division, they didn't even come in second (Bama 1st, LSU 2nd, A&M 3rd). Johnny Manziel nonetheless won the trophy.

Three keys to Manziel's successful Heisman campaign without a conference title:

(a) He beat #1 Bama, and absolutely carried the team on his shoulders in that game​

(b) In fact, Manziel carried his team several games that year with acrobatic performances​

(c) A&M finished a very respectable 10-2 in the regular season, with both losses to ranked teams (#6 LSU and #24 Florida)​

So, can we replicate all that?

(a) Hendon would have to have a crazy-good year, the kind that makes your eyes pop out watching him.​

(b) We'd have to beat either Bama or Georgia. Gotta have a win over the #1 team in the land. And Hendon would have to be THE motive force of the team in that win.​

(c) We'd have to beat almost everyone on the schedule; getting to 10-2 should do it, but probably nothing less.​

Can it happen? Sure. Is it likely to happen? Probably not, but I'm all for it.

Go Vols!

flopping by opponents will need addressed or the offensive sceme isnt going to succeed

Every since Peyton got the bum's rush from ESPN, I haven't given a royal rat's a$$ about who wins that trophy.

I'll take it!
