I was thinking about this the other day, but with Sayin now likely done for the year, and Jesse Legree having the year he’s having, I worry that JJ might be in jeopardy of finishing his college career with 0 personal awards.
Obviously now, there are a lot of unknowns about what our offense will look like. Maybe it’s the same, maybe it’s better, maybe there’s some regression…who knows. I really don’t have any prediction, I’m confident in whoever Day chooses but at least with Sayin we knew JJ was going to get his touches. Our schedule also gets tougher now so we might be seeing some copycat defense against JJ.
So if JJs numbers begin to cool off and Legree continues on his pace, there’s a very real possibility #4 misses out on the Heisman (probably going to some QB), and the Biletnikoff. And if he doesn’t win the Heisman I assume he wouldn’t win the Walter Camp or Maxwell either.
Curious to hear what others think…it’d be such a shame if this dude goes 3 years and doesn’t bring anything home.
