In last week’s mailbag, a reader asked why Florida State running back Dalvin Cook wasn’t getting more Heisman Trophy love. Our answer was concise: Lamar Jackson was running away with the trophy and Cook’s numbers were down from last year.
Not surprisingly, the latter half of that comment riled up #FSUTwitter, which rightfully argued that Cook is on pace to top last year’s totals in yards and touchdowns. Cook’s stellar performance against Florida (timed nicely with a four-turnover loss by Jackson to Kentucky) only bolsters that argument.
So were we just flat-out wrong on Cook?
