So did Hooker lose the Heisman today?

We all think Peyton got hosed right? Remember the last month of 1997. Peyton had the game of his career against Kentucky, but that was sandwiched between South Carolina and Vanderbilt.

Remember these stats?
Vs South Carolina 1997- P. Manning 8/25, 126 yds, 32.0% 0 TD, 1 Int
vs. Vanderbilt 1997- P. Manning 11/27, 40.7%, 159 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT

So everyone is down on Hendon after today against a clearly superior foe, but Peyton got robbed after those masterpieces? Hendon isn't Peyton, but he deserves the full support of this fanbase. He's the best we've had here in many years and had a bad game today. He's led this program from a 3-7 campaign to a likely 11-1 season. Build the man a statue and give him a street as far as I am concerned. Statistically, this may very well end up the best season by a QB in school history, and if he plays out the rest of the year against the easier half of the schedule, then it will be the greatest two year statistical career in school history. Nico will eventually surpass it (hopefully), but right now, appreciate everything Hendon has done for our program.
Yes...Hank, Johnny, and Peyton All got robbed.

Everyone saying he lost it today are just idiots. He didn’t have his best game. That’s the truth. But the guy behind him had an even worse day against a way worse team. And Bama has two losses now so Bryce ain’t winning it either. And yes we have no marquee games left but we have three games for him to put up big numbers and pad his stats. No different than what stroud has done for most of the year. You don’t think Heupel will let him get a few extra tds and yards against our last three opponents.
 
Hooker won’t win the Heisman. If Ohio State beats Michigan, the Heisman goes to the Ohio State QB. Hooker likely is invited to New York but will finish a distant second or third.

This is 100% correct. At the start of the season Vegas had us winning 7 to 8 games. Hooker is the main reason we will win 11 Regular Season games. If that isn't Heisman worthy what is

Yes, he has an outside chance before, but now the mid west voters have cause to not give it to him.
He didn’t have an outside chance before the game yesterday. He was literally the betting favorite. I don’t know where people come up with this stuff sometimes.

But we didn’t. We were an 8 point dog. “Outside chance” is more the than applicable.
Headed into that game I disagree that it was an outside chance. Now, for sure he has fallen to an outside chance. I disagree that he has no chance for those saying that.
 
I love how UT fans would go nuts if Hooker won the Heisman but until then it’s a worthless award because Charles Woodson or something.

I’ve said that about the Heisman for a long time (actually before Manning was robbed)… I mean they gave it to Andre Ware back in the day… David Klingler… there’s an exhaustive laughable list…

Do you think the loss to Georgia yesterday cost Hooker the Heisman?
 
Honestly....each Heisman candidate had a bad day except Stetson Bennett. I don't think this pushed him out, but he has work to do the last 3 games. Stroud, Young both had bad days too. In other words, he still has a chance. If Stroud has a great game and they beat Michigan I think he wins it. If Michigan wins the game and he has a mediocre game I think Hooker has a chance.
