Bo Nix or Michael Penix Jr.? Michael Penix Jr. or Bo Nix? That's basically been the main question of the 2023 Heisman Trophy race as college football's regular season comes to a close.
Jayden Daniels is demanding a place in the discussion anyway.
Historically speaking, LSU's quarterback would be an outlier of a Heisman winner. Only four players—Ricky Williams, Tim Tebow, Robert Griffin III and Lamar Jackson—since 1988 have hoisted the prestigious trophy despite his team losing three regular-season games.
Daniels, Nix and Penix, in some order, are 2023's three remaining challengers for the award, especially now that Florida State's Jordan Travis is out for the season.
