There is no better season than 2020 -- a pandemic season that saw shortened and staggered schedules affect the Heisman résumés of many top players -- to hand the trophy to a wide receiver. Alabama star DeVonta Smith just won't be the one to say it.
Fresh off seven receptions for 130 yards and three touchdowns against Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl, Smith remained focused on Ohio State and the national championship game when asked about his plans for Tuesday's Heisman ceremony (7 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App).
"Get in and get out," said Smith, who is just the ninth receiver to be a finalist.
