Winning the Heisman Trophy isn't diverting DeVonta Smith's focus away from the ultimate goal this season.
"Last night was a great feeling," Smith told reporters of collecting college football's biggest individual honor. "It was just a blessing to be in that situation with (quarterback Mac Jones and coach Nick Saban). But now that's in the past, and now it's on to Ohio State."
Lifting the Heisman can be a double-edged sword for a player ahead of his bowl game. Traveling to New York City for the ceremony and making the rounds for public appearances often means losing some preparation time.
