Christian McCaffrey might be the most deserving but that does not mean that he will win the Heisman Trophy over Alabama's Derrick Henry.
I hate to say it, but I'm having visions of 2009. Six years ago, Stanford running back Toby Gerhart put up better numbers than Alabama running back Mark Ingram. But when it came down to the Heisman voting, Gerhart lost.
Now, once again, we have a Stanford running back whose numbers are much better than an Alabama running back, and yet the Alabama running back is the prohibitive favorite. In fact, with Alabama running back Derrick Henry winning both the Doak Walker Award (for best running back) and the Maxwell Award (for most outstanding player), we should be nothing short of shocked if Christian McCaffrey actually wins the Heisman tonight.
