Do we think Ty wins the Heisman?

[Windsortide]

If Alabama wins the SECCG his chances are as good as anyone. RTR

 

[RdunawayTX]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Lots of football yet to play. He could have one of those disastrous outings that remove him from contention. Or he could continue lighting up the field like a PlayStation.

 

[rolltide_21]

No.

 

[Bama Lee]

It’s possible, but he is going to have ball out and win every game

 

[BamaInBham]

I can’t believe we have to worry about our defense against Vanderbilt….

Vanderbilt may have the best offense Alabama will face in the regular season this year. Fans should recognize that in accordance with the “new college football world”, Vanderbilt is a legitimate threat to beat the top teams in the country. Not that they should be favored, but they are a legitimate threat. I’m concerned about this game. Vanderbilt is likely going to be tougher to deal with than UGA on offense. Thankfully, though their D is supposedly improved, it still seems to be vulnerable and DeBoer/Grubb/Simpson seem to be up to the challenge of taking advantage. They may have to.

IMO, except for Eastern Illinois, there is not a team on Alabama’s schedule that can’t beat them, though IMO, Alabama will and should be favored in all of them.

Way too early to say.

In my opinion the OP has the cart way out in-front of the horse.

It's just too early.

Not saying he will or he won’t, there’s a lot of football left to be played. If, however, he were to maintain his averages through four games, he’s on pace to throw for about 4,300 yards and 37 touchdowns in a 13 game slate. Those are Heisman-ish numbers if you are playing for a top-10 team. Not all that far off from Bryce Young in 2021.

A lot of “ifs” to consider there, and I agree that it shouldn’t become a distraction.

 

[Tideflyer]

It’s Pavia’s to lose at this point.

I wouldn’t laugh TOO loudly at this point. He ( and Vandy ) wins on Saturday…..who knows. You can bet that if they should win he will have had far from a pedestrian day.

 

[cdub55]

Based on my calculations, we should have won 16 heisman's in a row...

 

[JDCrimson]

NIL money has dispersed the talent across all rosters. There is a lot of parity and mediocrity in CF now. You dont get yourself ready to play you can/will get beat.

 

[BigAlinKnoxville]

To be honest, I hope he doesn’t win it this year. No distractions.

Yep. And no "rat poison."

 

[Elefantman]

Based on my calculations, we should have won 16 heisman's in a row...

Please don't give the Aubies any more revisionist history ideas.

 

[MikeInBama]

Based on my calculations, we should have won 16 heisman's in a row...

I think we should only count 2009 and 2011-2020 for Heisman and National Championships

 

[crimsonaudio]

Still a long way to go but the odds have changed dramatically since the preseason:

 

[CajunCrimson]

Ugh, I'd really prefer not. BUT if he wins, chances are we win too. I was hoping we'd get 2 years out of him....not if he wins

 

[Bamabuzzard]

Part of me would like to see him win it, but also a part of me wants him here two years. If he wins the Heisman he will probably also be guaranteed to go within the first five picks of next years NFL draft and I'm not sure he can turn that down.

 

[JustNeedMe81]

Well he vaulted to the top of the Heisman polls. Just keep winning out and keep playing well and he has a legit shot.

 

[JustNeedMe81]

Ugh, I'd really prefer not. BUT if he wins, chances are we win too. I was hoping we'd get 2 years out of him....not if he wins

I think I said back in August... that he wasn't coming back next year... If he was coming back, it would be through Portal... No way you sit Russell for two years.

 

[Ole Man Dan]

TY should be in contention for the Trophy,
BUT...
Politics sez he won't get it.
