Three Alabama players were in the top five contenders.

1.DeVonta Smith, WR, Alabama: 1,866 points (447 first-place votes)
2.Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson: 1,187 points (222)
3.Mac Jones, QB, Alabama: 1,130 points (138)
4.Kyle Trask, QB, Florida: 737 points (61)

This was the year to have a dual Heisman, DeVonta and Mac.

"This was the year to have a dual Heisman, DeVonta and Mac."

That crossed my mind too.

Finally some good news to help me deal with all the satanic voices coming the center of a government I use to respect and honored to serve in its defense

Not difficult to see why Bama is so good. 3 in the top 5. Surely, that’s a first. They might be better than LSU was on offense last year. Might.

NON PC comment.

So of the 4 finalists there were 3 white guys and a black.

But more so there was one college player that gave up a #1 NFL draft pick to come back to Bama for his senior year, and excelled. He deserved the trophy.

The Heisman should go to the best college senior, IMHO that was Smith.

The state of Alabama has a deep bench to draw from...if you get my drift.

I miss the excitement of crowded stadiums. Blessings to those athletes making it through this madness.

3 in the top 5. Surely, that’s a first.

1946: Army (1, 4, 5) – Won national title Davis finally won his Heisman, while Blanchard took fourth and quarterback Arnie Tucker took fifth. It stands as the only time three teammates placed in the top five of the Heisman vote.

Certainly, it’s his best offense ever. Best team? Very difficult to say.

This year certainly has favored offense. The rules have made it almost impossible to legally tackle a ball-carrier. Pass interference is called very tightly. It looks like, contrary to conventional wisdom, COVID-19 protocols limiting practice hurt defense more than offense. I’m curious to see if the trend continues ... assuming there is football in the coming year.

At one time, it was a given that a senior would win the Heisman Trophy. I don’t know if that was ever an official rule or not.

I don’t know about the others but I have read about his academic successes. He seems like a strong young man.

More politically incorrect crap.

In 9 years, Heisman winners:
2010- Cam Newton
2011- Robert Griffin (the 3rd 🙃)
2013- Jameis Winston (look at his off field exploits)
2016- Lamar the Jackson
2018- Kyler Murray

Remember, last season was the year of the (b)lack quarterback. How many of the above are even any decent this year? Maybe one.
