Is Brock Purdy still a Heisman Candidate?
- Thread starter UnCytely
- Start date
ISU doesn't have to win the Nat'l Title, but they do need to be in Playoff contention and more importantly play in the Big 12 Champ game (winning Big 12 would certainly help) to have Brock or any ISU player considered.
But right now wouldn't you say it is Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields as favorites and a wide gap to the third guy if you were posting odds for 2020 Heisman?

Cat Stevens is off the board? Great to hear. He/She was awful. Best news of the weekend!
my 6th sense of knowing when someone says something dumb woke me up this morning.
came here to find the issue. found it.
people still dumb

OP is easily the most negative person on this board but living in Council Bluffs will do that to a person.
The Heisman is awarded before the bowl games, so winning a NC isn't a requirement. But I do think we would have to be in the ballpark of a playoff bid, as it seems like the award has become something like the MVP of the best team versus the best individual player period. Troy Davis would not have been invited to NY with the way the Heisman is being treated today.
Sad but true, even though he did something that no one has ever done with consecutive 2,000+ yard seasons.
If some of you can’t tell the difference between Brock Purdy, Trevor Lawerence and Joe Burrow I don’t know what to tell you. This isn’t a Brock issue because he is a damn good quarterback and I love the kid. I am ecstatic that he is at ISU. But those guys are in a different stratosphere right now. Can Brock elevate his game to that level? Maybe, but to put Heisman pressure on him is really unfair.
Another thing look at who those guys throw to. Long fast studs. I know our offense was better statistically and we had fewer dropped balls but we missed Hakeem big time this year much more than David. We had a hard time finding mismatches offensively without him as well as blowing the top off defenses. Pettway helped a lot more than I thought he would but he wasn’t Hakeem.

Is this a joke? Look at what Burrow did against Oklahoma and compare to Brock versus ND!! Heisman? Surely you jest.
#17 in the polls with some quality B12 wins and a true shot at the championship game? Dial me us some MORE disaster!
The quote you quoted looks to be after the Notre Dame game last year...
Purdy is in 9th place in B12 QB efficiency, but 8th place in the Heisman. LOL!
Hopefully the reps the younger guys on the line are getting now pay dividends for next year to give Brock more time to really do his thing and make more of a run at it.
This Purdy for Heisman talk is crazy. If we want to talk about a Cyclone that should be in the Heisman conversation it needs to be BREECE HALL!!
Agreed Breece is a better candidate right now, but re-watching the game Brock really had a hell of a game. He made a lot of plays after he bought time with instant pressure, which he almost always had. The interception just left a bad taste at the end is all.
You got to pick you spots to gloat. I couldn't choose when this thread started, but I COULD choose when to inject a glib comment.
