I was ok with him not making the ceremony until I saw Jabril Peppers is one of the finalists. How Peppers gets in and not Adoree I’ll never know. Adoree had way more highlight plays, showed up more in the big games, and had better stats.
The overhyping of Peppers by ESPN really paid off.
This is exactly right. It’s a weak year for clear standout players, but I live in Michigan and watch Peppers, and there is absolutely nothing superior about him in comparison to Adoree. If anything you could argue he’s playing against slightly slower competition in the Big 10 (outside of Ohio State). If anything, it’s because Harbaugh very consciously promoted him through the year as a Heisman candidate, and had an easy go of it with the first 8 games of the year in Michigan. SC was trying to turn the season around by week 5.
Our 1-3 start ruined Adoree’s chances.
Let’s face it, before the wins started mounting in Oct, major awards for any of our players was a pipe dream better known as a lost cause.
Then came the amazing Trojan turnaround led by next year’s Heisman plate-o-food Darnold which caught everyone by surprise, even USC’s own players. By late Oct, everyone’s playing better and the coaches are catching on too. Even perennial mediocrities like Zach Banner start looking good.
But by then, the nation had already written off USC as an overtalented group with a newby coach and a penchant for losing to physical teams.
We showed ’em alright. But by then the H race was over and Lamar Jackson had it won. Adoree will pick up some Big Name Award, and if not, that will be a terrific injustice for the Pat Tillman DPOY.
Too little, too late.
“I” Agree !
Banner is a 2 time All Conference OT. Some mock drafts have him as the 3rd OT taken. Most say his biggest problem is his size, too tall.
Zake Banner was named a 1st Team All American today.
The well-recognized Sporting News didn’t name him to either its 1st or 2nd team. Lots of disagreement about these things.
Those committees play favorites.
The Heisman Trophy became irrelevant with Gino Torretta. Not even the best player on his team.
LANE KIFFIN TO HOUSTON! 4 years $ 14 million!!!
Is he gonna be calling plays for the Tide in the playoffs or will he already on a plane for H-Town?
No idea.. Mix reports, issue with buyout, LSU is in play …looks like he’s done in Alabama either way.
Lane Kiffen will be expected to win immediately, because the previous two coaches did. But he will be exposed as a fraud.. IMO There will be no superiors around to keep Kiffen in check, and because he lacks immaturity, he won’t match, Kevin Sumlin success
I agree!
Im glad he’s turned old “Playstation” OC ways around to calling good football games. I think we’ll see some growth in the future that he’s picked up from his time working with Saban and a disciplined staff/program at Bama. I hope he does well. You think Sark follows Kiffin?
No ..Miles!
Our 17 recruiting class will be good..surprised of the names mentioned!
He said he’s with Alabama until after the Playoffs
That was a good move by Kiffin. He sticking with his players and what he’s started. There was a small part of me that assumed he would leave early to ttry and get a jump on recruiting. Good for Lane.
Glad to see some people are saying positive things about Kiff.
No !
Adoree’s 3+ (I only remember “3”?) breakout games do “not” enhance a Heisman Candidate ?
Personally I love Adoree and would take Him over anybody else in College Football today !!!
Adoree Jackson “should” return for a Senior Year (Including Ju Ju, 2017 could be a Monster Year, Including NATTY ?) !!
And to accomplish the task, Adoree needs “more” Offensive calls (And as for that Louisville Quarterback, both games I watched Him play, forget it, I guess they just give away Heisman Trophies these days…) ?
?
If I were going for a Heisman Trophy, I would “get” it before I move on to greener pastures…
But that’s just me
FightOn
I guess you missed Jackson vs Clemson. The kid looked sensational
I AM USED TO ANGERING PEOPLE, so here I go again…1st a senior, then the best football player in college football…regardless of what his parents are doing ,have done or ever will do and it should be not returnable,refundable,recyclable and ncaa proof.
