How are we so high on Adrian Martinez? Seems so premature.
I’d like to see Shea get 3000 yards and 30 tds (plus another 250/5 on the ground). If we win the division, that could put him in New York.
August 28th, 2019 at 9:24 PM ^
I agree. I don’t get the Martinez or Nebraska hype.
August 29th, 2019 at 8:42 AM ^
Year 2 at UCF is why.. unfortunately for Frost and Nebraska the B1G Ten isn't the whatever the name of the shit conference UCF is in.
August 28th, 2019 at 9:34 PM ^
No one knows why but it’s exciting he gets the people going.
August 28th, 2019 at 9:54 PM ^
With ya 100%. Frost musta set up a room at B1G media days where he was giving free rub-n-tugs. For a 4-8 team to have a sudden top 3 Heisman Hopeful means something flunky is goin on. I have them goin 7-5 / 8-4 at best. While that would be an 8 game turnaround, it ain't getting ya a Heisman.
August 29th, 2019 at 10:41 AM ^
I guess blowing out Bethune Cookman, Illinois and Minnesota and beating MSU in a snowstorm means something more than beating four mediocre teams.
August 29th, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
And their sole reason for desperately scheduling Bethune Sacrificial Lamb was to make a bowl game. Doops.
August 29th, 2019 at 1:48 PM ^
I kinda get it with Martinez. A lot of it has to do with the fact that he will either be throwing or running on 2/3 of their plays, so he has a great deal of impact on the game.
What I don't get is Fields, and not just because he'll be playing in the large toilet bowl in the middle of America's shittiest state. Okay, he was a good high school player, but the dude has not played a meaningful down in college. The explanation is that odds have nothing to do with potential outcomes, but rather with the amount of money people are willing to bet. And if a fool and his money are soon parted, well, there a lot of fools down there.
August 28th, 2019 at 9:06 PM ^
Adrian Martinez has the 3rd highest odds at 10/1? Are you serious? Looks like the Nebraska hype train has no brakes!
August 28th, 2019 at 9:14 PM ^
Easier division to rack up stats.
August 29th, 2019 at 12:23 AM ^
ya but NE still needs 11+ wins for martinez to have any chance to win the heisman. it's been a team award for a long time now.
August 28th, 2019 at 11:42 PM ^
More like the casinos want to make some easy money from Nebraska fans. No way Martinez wins, so every bet is pure profit.
August 28th, 2019 at 9:26 PM ^
What about Dylan???
August 28th, 2019 at 9:57 PM ^
One of the five greatest rappers of all-time.
August 29th, 2019 at 9:32 AM ^
Just give him time. He'll be spittin hot fire by the end of the season.
August 28th, 2019 at 10:46 PM ^
Or Dillon, wish we had been able to keep him!!
August 28th, 2019 at 10:46 PM ^
Or Dillon, wish we had been able to keep him!!
August 28th, 2019 at 9:28 PM ^
Justin fields is way too high, as he is ahead of Jake Fromm. Must be the ryan day effect!!!
August 28th, 2019 at 10:03 PM ^
Yeah, someone's gotta explain that one to me as well. For a guy who is essentially a first year starter, I don't get it.
Please someone talk me out of the bell tower....
August 29th, 2019 at 8:30 AM ^
Nice reference to a horrific mass murder. Not sure which way to vote your post!
August 29th, 2019 at 9:34 AM ^
Sorry... I'll rephrase.
Someone please pull me back off the ledge.
August 28th, 2019 at 10:03 PM ^
You cray. Passer rating of 173.7
Never thrown an interception.
Should just give it to him now.
August 29th, 2019 at 10:29 AM ^
Fromm won't win it because he won't put up the gaudy stats like guys on more spread teams. Nobody will care that Georgia manhandles a team while Fromm throws for 225 yards and 2TD's. Fields will be the focal point of OSU's offense so I don't think it's crazy for him to be ahead of Fromm in an award race like the Heisman.
August 29th, 2019 at 4:25 PM ^
Have to agree with you. I think all of the Fields love has more to do with the talent around him. And let's admit it, OSU has some big-time expectations and weapons on offense but the kid has yet to prove it on the field. We'll see.
August 29th, 2019 at 8:53 PM ^
I think you're absolutely right about the Ryan Day effect. He turned a first year starter into a Heisman finalist/1st round draft pick last year, and the first year starter he's working with this year is the highest-ranked recruit to ever play for the program. If I were inclined to bet on Fields contending for the Heisman, I'd be putting money down next year. I think Trevor and Tua are already so far out front in people's minds that it will be hard for anyone else to generate a genuine push.
August 28th, 2019 at 10:00 PM ^
Martinez and Fields rated way too high. Jonathan Taylor way too low.
The modern Heisman is a ridiculous award that routinely disregards half the players on the field, with the only exception being 1997. It's an award for offensive players who pile up noteworthy stats on prominent winning teams.
August 28th, 2019 at 10:38 PM ^
It disregards way more than half. 80% of the time, it's the best QB of out of the top 5ish teams. Another 18% of the time, it's the best RB out of that same set of teams. The other 2% is Charles, Desmond, and a few other WRs so transcendentally good that they had to be given the award.
August 29th, 2019 at 10:47 AM ^
Most of the WRs who won also returned kicks, too (as did Woodson). Kick return touchdowns are usually flashy so they automatically help your Heisman case.
If Ndamukong Suh (finished 4th in the voting) had returned a few punts for touchdowns maybe he'd have won.
August 28th, 2019 at 10:09 PM ^
All I want him to do is beat ohio.
I'd kiss him on the lips if he did that.
August 29th, 2019 at 5:55 AM ^
Since Shea may obtain a security detail after that, I would kiss you on the lips. That would mean I kinda kissed Shea.

Let's not discourage the young man.
August 28th, 2019 at 10:10 PM ^
I didn't see those odds to bet on any walk up sports book lately.
Shea is down to 12/1 at some places. Maybe opening odds?
EDIT: I bet it, which is not smart with him splitting time with Dylan(sp?).
August 28th, 2019 at 10:51 PM ^
Shea was 20/1 last week at the MGM Grand in Vegas. I put a small bet down on him.
August 28th, 2019 at 10:16 PM ^
How do i short nebreska?
August 29th, 2019 at 7:17 AM ^
Who is this Nebreska you refer to? Play the O/U wins, of course, on the under.
August 28th, 2019 at 10:20 PM ^
Martinez and Fields are ranked way too high. Two unproven players. Nonsense.
August 28th, 2019 at 10:23 PM ^
If Shea is in NY on 12/14/19 then that means we are in the playoff. Down with that scenario.
August 28th, 2019 at 11:09 PM ^
I was thinking the exact same thing!
August 28th, 2019 at 11:45 PM ^
It didn't work out for Haskins.
August 28th, 2019 at 10:41 PM ^
I feel that it's a pretty common hope that he's in New York while Trevor Lawrence except the Heisman.
August 28th, 2019 at 11:25 PM ^
Except/Accept
Tomato/Basketball
August 29th, 2019 at 9:29 AM ^
And the winner of this thread goes to...
August 28th, 2019 at 10:58 PM ^
Fields couldn’t beat out Fromm, so he transferred. Now he has higher Heisman odds? Makes no sense. The Georgia coaches obviously thought Fromm was the better QB. Some serious mental gymnastics went on in making that list.
August 29th, 2019 at 7:04 AM ^
Agreed, this list is a joke, joe burrow, Adrian Martinez, I mean doesn’t matter, mine as well just be tua and Lawrence at ceremony anyway
August 28th, 2019 at 11:26 PM ^
Probably down on Fromm because his best returning receiving target has something like 11 career receptions.
August 29th, 2019 at 11:14 AM ^
Heisman odds are down on Fromm because he doesn't put up volume stats. He only threw for 2700 yards last year (Tua and Murray were both at 4000+). Tua accounted for 18 more touchdowns than he did. I wouldn't expect that to change much this year.
August 28th, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
Patterson currently 33-1 at my book so I put some pizza money on it. As far as Martinez I would assume his odds are more based on the liability of him winning it vs. actual chance of him winning it. Casinos like to keep their future pools so that they win...no matter the outcome. If they start taking a lot of action on a player they are going to drop the odds to dissuade any more liability on that outcome.
Only a few more days....can’t get here soon enough. Go Blue!!!!
August 29th, 2019 at 5:59 AM ^
Can AJ Dillon just get drafted already. Sick of him taunting me with what could've been
August 29th, 2019 at 7:56 AM ^
Good luck to Shea. Dylan IMHO is the better QB.
August 29th, 2019 at 9:31 AM ^
fields, 1st year starter, playing for a 1st year head coach..... top 10 heisman candidate, above the guy who beat him out last year, un-friggin' real.
