The smartest thing Choklahoma could have would have been to pull Murray’s name from consideration. They’d be smart not to show up for their date with Alabama.
Woulda been a blowout anyway; it’s suddenly turned into a potential massacre.

Good chance to see who is the best qb and who leads team to a win. The awards committee just might have egg on their faces.

Haskins is the best passer. Tua is the best athlete. Murray has the best attributes of both.

Two things here:

1. Murray probably deserved this, but I also think there's sometimes a bias in favor of a player in his last year over someone who has a chance to win the trophy again the following year.

2. Murray's win one year after Baker Mayfield's is the first back-to-back Heisman win for one school since Army West Point's Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis did it back in 1945 and 1946. ... Uh, no. Archie Griffin of Ohio State won the Heisman Trophy in 1974 and 1975. Doesn't anyone do any research for these articles?

Kyler Murray was the right selection.

And Murray may never play a down in the NFL. He's already got a US$5 million contract with the Oakland A's organization and look at the guaranteed contracts that MLB players get.

Murray beat out Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa

What is it with Polynesians and football lately? I mean, I'm not a football fan but I don't recall Polynesian names being thrown around in the 60s or 70s.

When did they become football players? When they converted to mormonism?

I mean, I knew Samoans were bad guy professional wrestlers, but this is ridiculous!

I think they keep voting for OU players, just to hear Billy Sims yell “BOOMER!”
