Currently at #14 on Watch list.

espn sucks.....they give him no love.

Paint me into the category of not caring about the Heisman. That award has been tarnished for a very long time. If Sampson gets into the running for it, fantastic, but I refuse to give a crap about that award.

 

[Wrangler95]

Glad to see Sampson on the list but after the Manning robbery,I dont even watch it!

Nice thread title.

He will need to go for 200yds and 4 TDs against Georgia to get any real attention

Even then he will only come in 2nd.

ESPN used to be the behind the scenes source that basically picked the Heisman winner but not sure if they still have that much power. Hope not.

Challenging for a RB to win. And if it is going to a RB, i think Jeanty (sp?) is far and away the lead dog.

Would be an honor to be a finalist. Hope Sampson will be.

Irrelevant award is irrelevant

He should be in consideration but I have to think Jeanty and Travis Hunter have separated themselves from the pack

Ward and Gabriel are both more likely to win it than Hunter. Hard for a non-qb to win it, so right now it’s Ward’s to lose.

Aint gonna lie..I would only care if on of guys won it. Otherwise it's a rubbish award.

I think Sampson gets an invite to the Heisman Trophy presentation show.

Majors and Manning got hosed on the Heisman.

Heath Shuler was a finalist too.

Hunter isnt really in the race. He has zero chance of winning. Besides it will be a QB.

Jeanty is the betting favorite currently. I agree about it being hard for a non-qb to win it though.

Jeanty and Ward are top 2, according to odds, with Gabriel slightly behind. You’re probably right a QB will win in the end

My sentiments exactly.

Why Tennessee's Dylan Sampson Should Be a Heisman Candidate

During Tennessee’s 6-1 start to the season, the offense has undoubtedly been inconsistent. The play of starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava has been up and down

Everyone is infatuated with Jeanty putting up big numbers against some high school teams

 

[Brave Volunteer]

even before that the Majors robbery

Majors wasn't robbed. Jim Brown was robbed. He deserved it the most that season. Just being honest. But we can both agree that Paul Hornung was nowhere near the best player in the country that year.

Tennessee will never have a HeisTman. It is written into the bedrock of of college football.
