My son just told me that he's be able to vote "a few times" using the incognito window in Chrome.

Got my votes in using Safari/Duck Duck Go on my phone and Safari/Chrome/Incognito on my laptop. That's it for today...will do it again tomorrow.

Heisman is a joke trophy tbh, it's 99% politics, Stroud will win it because of the preseason hype, anyone that knows anything about football will know HH is the better player. That trophy means nothing anymore, except you get to be in some fun Heisman House commercials.

I still voted though

It stopped meaning anything when Johnny Majors got jobbed and they handed that trash trophy to Paul Hornung. Then the media went to work to screw Peyton out of it. We could go unbeaten, win the Natty, Hooker could throw 25 more touchdown passes and 2000 more yards and they would still screw him out of it too. It means nothing more than a high school popularity contest.

HH could win it out of nowhere like Johnny Mansell.

Admittedly I am terrible at editing. But look at this. How can anyone think CJ Stroud has done better than Hendon Hooker? Stroud has thrown INTs in 4 separate games and against bad football teams. Hooker only 1 against a top 5 team. Still yet the rushing narrative. Hooker advances our team even on the ground. Stroud just look at all those negative yardage games. Haha

Only thing I can figure is they really love is total number of passing touchdowns

Editing to add: That number seems to have big impact on the rating.

I’d be interested in the average length of touchdown passes for each. It almost certainly has to do with the fact that we tend to run it down teams’ throats around the goal line, rather than getting short passing tds.

I think you’re spot on. Our red zone numbers and their’s look like this:

Tennessee: 23 RTD 8 PTD 6 FG
OSU: 14 RTD 17 PTD 5 FG

So he has 17 red zone passing touchdowns and his other 11 passing touchdowns are out of the red zone.

Hooker has 10 outside of the red zone and 8 in.

Fellas, I appreciate the thought you're putting into this.

But sometimes, you think you're studying a chess match when in reality it is a beauty contest.

The CJ Stroud hype has a lot more to do with (a) where Stroud plays football and (b) where the media types live or call home, than it does with how Stroud compares to Hooker in the stat sheets.

It's just a fact of life. Any time people meet to decide something, to one extent or another they represent the tribes from which they come.

So you won't find the answers in those stats. You just won't.

Go Vols!
