Yes, the "character" portion of the award has long been a joke...see Caleb Williams two years ago. Teo did such a great job of balancing his game with his academics along with his invisible girlfriend. Was very deserving.

I agree with you 100%. To support your point, I would add that Manziel was a serial womanizer, while Manti Teo was in an exclusive, committed relationship with his girlfriend. Teo was a much better role model than Manziel!

We can't let this thread die. How would 2025 Luers match up against 2025 HH?

I would be surprised if they rely only on the front because they've lived in man all year and the whole defense is built around forcing early throws, throw aways, and bad throws. The defensive line doesn't generate any pressure on its own without Traore and Bothello, so sacks are a function of smothering coverage and chaos created at the line of scrimmage. I haven't noticed nearly as much safety pressure this year––at least two safeties coming from a two high look––and I think Golden's first year was the high point for that. ND's passing game is passable so long as they stay on schedule. Leonard's ability to improvise is crucial and somewhat mitigates his own underwhelming arm and the years-long problem of putting largely underwhelming receivers on the field. He's basically having the season that Hartman did last year, but the difference is he can move the ball on his own. Jeremiyah Love is probably the best back that IU will have seen so far, and the three-headed monster of Love, Price, and Leonard should push IU's run defense to the limit. I expect ND to lean on the run, and IU's aggressive run defense looks like it will be the most significant challenge the Irish have faced so far. As important as ND's run game is to the outcome on Friday, I think the key will be whether IU can crease ND enough on the ground. If not, I think ND wins by two scores.

Who invited this guy... Must've kicked him out of the HHC thread again.

Projected to be a 7-team Sectional in 2025 per IHSAA Sports Information Director. There could be a chance of an 8th team joining this spring, but as of now, it appears it will be 7 teams for 2025 with the departure of HH.

Fail. Try that again.

You wouldn't be you if you didn't throw that in there, lol. The winner of the Heisman is given to a "student" athlete. I would say the athlete should be a student if given the award. But a freshman over a senior. Gimmie a break, that should NEVER happen.

Thank you. I tend to get Nelson (Colts) and Martin (Cowboys) mixed up.

Says every NBA GM for the past 30 years...

The biggest travesty in the history of the Heisman was Johnny Manziel winning over Manti Teo. You had a well deserving devensive player, a senior, great student, and campus leader up against a freshman quartback who epitimized everything that a student athlete wasn't.

As do I but I quit responding to his nonsense. Trinity Lutheran started their youth program back up two years ago. The did field a MS team this past fall. It’s frustrating to watch as a Football guy, because it’s the same crap that caused it to fail the first two times. Unorganized, coaching that doesn’t understand basic football concepts, and parents with unrealistic expectations. On the bright side of things their enrollment does seem to be growing especially in light of Seymour’s enrollment issues. According to the IHSAA, they’re up to 166. In years past while trying to participate in football they had numbers as low as 124 I believe. Tough to field a men’s XC, Soccer, and Football out of those numbers. I wish them well, but I don’t see this ending any differently than it has the two previous attempts.

Do they? A&M went 1-3 down the stretch. Who is their best win? Missouri, a team who lost to every good team they played by 30+? LSU, a team that lost to 6-6 USC?

That’s the thing he did put the team on his back but it’s hard to do at the 6A level after graduating 40 seniors the year prior. The loss against Avon 2 TDS and an Interception, Scored the first TD against a WC team that had yet to be scored on and finished that game 2 TDs and 1 Interception in OT that should have sealed the game but coaches decided to not kick the winning field goal. The LN game would have been a massacre had he not been on the field he scored 3 Receiving TDs and returned and interception for another score. First playoff game BD was down in the fourth quarter and he took over the game by scoring 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions and followed up the next week against Brownsburg with 4 TDs. What more could you ask for from the kid? Put him on any other team with experience and the team might not have lost game all year and if you put him in a lower level school his number would be out of this world and their is no question who the winner should be.

Nope! But…I have heard of a guy interested who is just as far away from the flex bone!
