What would it take for Luther Burden to earn Heisman votes?

Luther Burden III is good at football. You know that, of course. But just how good he’s been might somehow be going... under-the-radar? That’s a personal opinion. It’s also due to circumstances beyond his own control.

Missouri wasn’t supposed to be this good. Not according to national standards, at least. Vegas set the Tigers’ win total for 2023 at 6.5. They will exceed that number by winning two more games this season. Brady Cook came into the season fighting for his job. He’s thrown for more yards this season than Bo Nix, Spencer Rattler, Quinn Ewers, Jordan Travis or KJ Jefferson.
