Now that the calendar page has been flipped and it is now October, the Heisman Trophy race is on in earnest. It appeared that Lamar Jackson of Louisville could have set himself apart as the clear favorite to win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday but that was not to be the case.
Although the young quarterback put up big numbers against Clemson, his Cardinals fell to the Tigers. Did that allow J.T. Barrett and Deshaun Watson to move up a notch in the minds of the Heisman voters?
Despite being outplayed by Jackson, Watson’s team won and now Clemson is ranked No.
