After three consecutive years of elite quarterback play, can the Ducks keep this going?
I’m fine with the Travis Hunter Heisman.
I don’t have a vote, but I do think that the anti-Colorado campaign has diminished how impressive his time in Boulder was. Yes, I know he’s not the best receiver in the country. Yes, I know he’s not the best cornerback in the country. He’s close to being both, though, and while that might not matter as much on a team like Oregon where you have a surplus of blue-chip players competing for reps, it matters at a school like Colorado.
It’s impressive enough to be No. 1 on the depth chart at two positions. It’s Unicorn-level when you’re among the best in the nation at both.
He’s not a bad Heisman Trophy winner.
That being said…
I watched Jeanty rush for 192 yards and three touchdowns against Oregon back in September and I haven’t seen a better football player since. Take him away from the Broncos and those goalposts would have never touched the Boise River two weeks ago.
Just for comparison’s sake:
Jordan James, Oregon’s excellent junior running back, rushed for 1,253 yards and 15 touchdowns this season. His season-high was 166 yards against Michigan State.
Jeanty rushed for 2,497 yards and 29 touchdowns, and he only had four games this season where he rushed below James’ 166-yard peak.
The guy had the numbers, got them by leading his team to the playoffs and I completely felt him when he told reporters in New York that he “should have walked away with the award.”
Good luck to the defensive front of whoever wins SMU-Penn State. I feel Jeanty might have a point to prove come the Fiesta Bowl.
