This is becoming a fact of life — if you’re a starting quarterback for the Oklahoma Sooners, at some point in your career you’re going to be in the Heisman conversation. In Kyler Murray’s case, the chances of actually winning the prestigious trophy are both high and realistic.
Stacked up against the other two finalists, Murray is quite deserving of the honor from a statistical standpoint. I actually explored that side of the Heisman equation following conference championship weekend, and quite frankly, it’s a no-brainer as to who should be the favorite to claim the award.
