Alabama WR Denvonta Smith (he of 2nd and 26 fame) won the Heisman Trophy last night. I suppose being allowed to run free and open (why do people play him that way?) allows for the room to amass the kinds of stats to garner the votes. They weren't going to give it to Trevor Lawrence from Clemson because he missed games; same for Ohio State's Justin Fields. Kyle Trask couldn't play defense for Florida so his campaign was moot. And the latest game manager taking snaps for Alabama was never gonna get enough support for it. Due to a lack of better options, he's as good as anything.
In 2007, Alabama had ZERO Heisman Trophy winners and a debatable number of national titles.
Since 2008, Alabama has gained THREE Heisman Trophy winners and the debatable number of national titles has grown. Each of those Heismans represents the only non-QBs to win the thing in the last 15 years, by the by.
