The Heisman Trophy debate is one of the more interesting (and frustrating) debates in all of sports. When you break it down, there are essentially three main groups of thinking when determining the winner. You have your traditionalists. These are the people who go by the definition of the Heisman Trophy, which is basically the most extraordinary player in the country, whether it’s big game moments, impact levels or stats posted. Your next group is, well, those stat geeks.
They’ll find every single advanced stat they can to make a case for their certain player. Try and not debate these creatures because they’ll pull acronyms even the biggest football fans haven’t heard of so they can try and prove their point.
