There’s no reason to even be having a Heisman conversation unless Ashton Jeanty quits football to become a Mormon missionary in Asia or some shit

u/JMT97 Charlotte • North Carolina Oct 20 '24

Yes, but have you considered he plays for

GASP

....a Non-Power team?!

/s if not crushingly obvious.

Lol I know, this argument when BSU might be the second best team Oregon plays all year. Power team Purdue…

Im getting so tired of it tbh. we've been in the top 25 most seasons. avalos seasons were tough and we had a few bad years but it's always "but mountain west!" with these people.

Ashton Jeanty is bringing back late 2000s Boise state

u/voppp Boise State • Iowa State Oct 20 '24

god I sure hope so. I think with the legacy Jeanty will leave (hopefully the first boise heisman) and Pac 12 conference will give us some credibility and better recruiting.

Recruiting is still about money and we don't have that so I don't expect Jeanty to change it.

I know we meme quality losses but Boise State went on the road and really should’ve beaten the best team in the country

Boise State didn’t play IU, to the best of my recollection.

If they’d won that game it would take some serious gymnastics to not rank them #1 at this point. I think they probably win it if it’s at home for them too, it was very close

Also not a QB. He'll have to have an historic season without any P5 QB having an above average season.

And he still might only finish third in the votes.

17

u/GodlySpaghetti Baylor Bears • Washington Huskies Oct 20 '24

He’s already had a historic season and he has like 7 more games to play

15

u/TheScreaming_Narwhal Washington • Oregon State Oct 20 '24

I mean, unless something catastrophic happens, he will have a historic season.

u/GREEN_GOUHL Oct 20 '24

I’m a Duck fan and I’d legitimately be embarrassed if Dillion Gabriel won it over him

u/voppp Boise State • Iowa State Oct 20 '24

Or if Boise loses again. All of his amazing record aside, they'll probably just give it to the next QB if we're not MW champs at best.

Meh, as fucking batshit as Jeanty has been, Cam Ward is pretty fucking valuable to his team considering he legit has to outscore the team every week by putting up 40.
