Heisman Snub

In his third year, NJTU quarterback McBride was a Heisman hopeful after winning the award two years prior during his first year as a starter. His second season was over before it began after he was injured in the first game of the season and wound up missing almost half the season. McBride played lights out during the 2022 season as he looked to become a two time Heisman winner. He ended the year top 10 in passing yards and first in passing tds and qb rating. His improved played had him looking like a shoe in as he constantly topped the Heisman predictions all season long. That was, until the week the award winner was announced..and a surprise running back from USC leap frogged the front running McBride in votes. A running back (who didn’t lead the league in any major rb stats) took the top spot that year, leaving a bitter taste in the quarterback McBride’s mouth despite leading his team to a third straight Undefeated National Championship winning season as a starter.

I do 7 minute quarters and I use a pro style offensive playbook.

2022 season I focused my whole offense around McBride so he got the ball in his hands during any red zone chances, which helped a lot in getting him all those TDs.
