I know a lot of people on here thinks the Heisman is overrated, me included but. If Tennessee beats Alabama and Josh Dobbs has a good game, With our back end schedule I think he will be in the Heisman conversation late in the year. Anyone else think so?

Why not? As of rn hes on pace for 40 TD's, 600+ rushing yards and over 2800 passing yards in 12 games. And that's with having a slow start to the season and having a MUCH easier back end schedule.

Excessive turnovers and inconsistent play early in the year.

Also, Lamar Jackson, Jabrill Peppers, Jake Browning...JT Barret and Deshaun Watson will also have better cases, even though I don't think either will win.

If Dobbs wanted a shot he, and the rest of the team, needed to light everyone up from the beginning.

I dont think he should / will win. But I do think he should get an invite to NY. The guy means more to his team than anyone. He (and Barnett) will this team to victory over and over.

But he's been a lot more consistent lately and has picked up his play.

I don't really think the voters care if he gets his productions in the second half or first. Henry got better as the game went along and was better in the second half too.

In 2010 when Cam Newton won the Heisman they weren't lighting everyone up from the beginning. In fact they had multiple come from behind wins

Let's quantify what you mean by in the conversation.

On the outside lookin in. Like Keenan Reynolds or Dalvin Cook last year. Never really considered a favorite or considered a finalist but still had a chance at the end of the year

We don't win without Barnett vs UF or UGA imo

Our schedule didn't set up well for him to win the Heisman without an epic, epic season. He would need a 500+ total yards game with some heroic plays to beat Bama to get his name truly into the conversation and then post unbelievable stats against weak opposition the rest of the way to win it.

Other programs get the benefit of playing meaningful games down the stretch. Our last truly meaningful game before the voting happens is on October 15.

No Tenn player will win the Heisman trophy, Johnny Majors was second to Paul Hornung of norte dame who had a losing season while tenn had a winning season.
Peyton Manning second to a defensive player only time a defensive player has won it or since. also very few Heisman winner do good after they win it when playing tenn ask George of ohio state and the qb from Miami in 86 sugar bowl.

If balls out this weekend and then dominates the rest of the season he could and should. If he had a great SEC title game...it's possible.

I disagree, Watson only had 1 meaningful game after the first weekend in October. Basically 2 all year. He went to New York

Correct, Hornung is also the only player to ever win the Heisman on a losing team

When we beat Bama, and win out, he's definitely in the conversation and gets an invite to NYC ! How could he not be ?! Granted he continues to put up Tecmo Bowl numbers that is 😊.

If Dobbs continues to play well, imoroves his accuracy and cuts down on the mistakes he shoukd absolutely be in the conversation.
