Post Season Awards

[Sirhornsalot]

The 2025 Heisman candidates were announced today. Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, Ohio State QB Julian Sayin, Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia and Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love.
IMO, Love should be the winner. Notre Dame doesn't have the success they had this year without him. Best back in the nation.
Mendoza would be my 2nd choice. He makes very few mistakes, nice passer, intelligent decision maker. But he's a step below Love for me.
Sayin is a good QB, but this was his first year to start. He performed well but nothing that stands out. He did lead his team to the conference championship game, but wasn't even the best QB in that stadium.
Pavia will probably seek an 8th year of eligibility. I kid. But there's a point there. He's a great street ball kind of QB but has grown into a linebacker's body. But not Heisman worthy.

Leaving Littleton off the True Freshman All-American list is a travesty.

 

[tejasrulz]

I think Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza won it when they beat Ohio St. They don't give it to the best player, they give it to the best player on the best team.

 

[TB14]

Sayin is a distant 4th for me. That Ohio State team would be just fine without him. They are about to set the record for most 1st round picks in this upcoming draft and that doesn't even include Jeremiah Smith.

The next 3 are all pretty close. Love is the best non-qb in football. He's a stud. However they play a soft schedule and his backup looks really good too. So is it all him?

Mendoza has turned Indiana up a notch. They had a great year last year but he made them number 1. Did he really elevate them as much as Pavia elevated Vandy? They were already a playoff team who has an elite defense and are balanced on offense.

That leaves Pavia for me. Vandy was nothing before him. They'll drop again this offseason once he leaves. He is their entire offense. Over 4000 total yards and 36 touchdowns. He's also their only good runner. I mean his mom and brother are annoying, but to me he should hands down win the award.

I have heard Vandy has a 4 or 5-star QB coming in the next class. Can't remember who.

5 Star freshman they just flipped from Georgia. But they are hoping he does half as much for them as Pavia did imo.

Hill and Niblett should be first. If Pete K’s defense was more aggressive, Hill would’ve been an even bigger animal.

I like Love to win Heisman.. Mendoza a close second

 

[Sirhornsalot]

And Mendoza is the winner . . .

Looks like I called the Heisman winner above

BTW, Pavia's a d*ck - Pavia's a sore loser

 

[BruiseLee]

Pavia has got some issues. If I'm an NFL tteam, I'd pass. When does that stuff show up again?

 

[Baron]

I told all of y'all back in midseason about him. That Netflix show was very telling.
