...waited until after the bowl games to make their decision, imagine what a personal battle this would be between Henry and Watson, in addition to the national championship battle. Heck, the NCAA even counts bowl stats with the regular season stats. How antiquated is to vote on the Heisman based just on the regular season?

If they waited until after the bowl games, Christian McCaffery wins the Heisman.

Or Watson. Henry is the classic power back who is a great weapon for a team that's dominating the line of scrimmage but he doesn't have the talent of the other two.

They've never voted a lineman or a defense-only player.

The award is a joke.

Not since they went both ways.

If you consider what each player did against which defense, hard to say that Watson's 488 total yards and 4 TDs against Bama isn't the best individual performance.

All 3 had good bowl games. Henry's day was 3rd best. Nice 50 yard run and his line struggled but this morning looking at the box score I was wondering how often you see a non-QB have a 50 yard run, a 25 yard run, and average 4.4 per carry.
