As you may have heard, LSU QB Joe Burrows won the Heisman this weekend. What you may not have seen, was just how big of a blowout it was. Joe Burrows received a total of 2,608 votes, between 1st, 2nd and 3rd. By comparison, the 2nd place finisher, Jalen Hurts, only received 762 total votes. Chase Young got 747, and 4th place finisher, Justin Fields, got 643. Now, for those of you who math, Joe Burrows received 456 more votes than the other three candidates...combined.
The other major college award winners:
The Division II Playoff saw a major upset happen this saturday, as last year's runner up, and current #1 ranked and unbeaten Ferris State Bulldogs were defeated at home, by the University of West Florida. Well, check that. West Florida didn't have much to do with it, Ferris State channeled their inner Detroit Lions, and somehow found a way snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. Ferris State had control of this game midway through the 3rd quarter, and then all hell broke loose. 4 of their final 5 drives in the game ended with a lost fumble, and the Ferris State Bulldogs committed 6 turnovers total. Word around Ann Arbor is that unlike the past few years, Michigan is expecting to field a complete team against Alabama in the Citrus Bowl. That is, as of now, no Michigan players have expressed an intent to sit out the bowl game to start preparing for the draft. Stud Alabama WR Jerry Jeudy, who is likely going to be the #1 WR taken in the draft, has also announced his intention to play in the bowl game. Also, as a reminder: Bowl games officially start this Friday, and the first two bowl games featuring at least 1 top 25 team are this saturday night, with #19 Boise State taking on the Washington Huskies in the Camellia Bowl, and #20 Appalachian State taking on the University of Alabama-Birmingham in the Las Vegas Bowl.
