Why did I put UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton at the top of my Heisman Trophy ballot instead of Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield?
Let me count the ways:
1. A quarterback’s No. 1 priority is to win games, and Milton is the only QB in the country who led his team to an undefeated record.
2. A quarterback’s No. 2 priority is put points on the board, and Milton directed the highest-scoring offense in the country.
3. Unlike Mayfield, Milton has not grabbed his crotch to taunt opponents, not been arrested, nor has he done anything to publicly embarrass his team throughout the season or the course of his career.
