Has Saquon Barkley already won the Heisman

20 rushes for 56 yards? NOT EVEN HEISMANESQUE! 2.3 per carry against Indiana? Travesty is ESPN keeps hyping this garbage - he ran over a touted Iowa D like it was butter to a hot knife - but Indiana stops him? NO NO NO

Too early for me - meant 2.8 and still anemic !

The guys is really, really good, but the Indiana game shows that if teams sell out to stop him they can. The PSU QB is strictly marginal as a passer, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to play back on defense against them. Not sure how good the Indiana defense is, but traditionally they have sucked.

I caught a bit of ESPN this morning and they were telling us how special he is. They showed a couple of clips of him juking Iowa players and according to ESPN it was something that has never been seen before.

I voted yes because that is who the media is pushing for. The Heisman isn't college football's best player. The Heisman is the media's choice for most page views.

If he has a good showing against OSU and Michigan, going to be hard to give it to anyone else.

Best college RB since Bo.

Thought it was the Stanford guy after a game a couple of years ago.

I'd agree with that take, sort of in "it's his to lose" category.

Yup didn't even know about this guy until today. 5 games in and over 1k rushing. If he's not strongly considered then I don't know what to believe. Media sells the others, but numbers don't lie.

He plays in the wrong time zone. It's going to be tough for any Pac 12 player to win because most voters on the east coast are not staying up for a 7:30 PST kickoff. The Pac 12 has what, three or four winners in the last 20 years?
