Lattimore's Heisman chances

[GCF Staff Support]

Like many others around the nation I believe that Lattimore 100% healthy is the best running back in college football, but I do not forsee him winning the Heisman trophy this season. I think the depth we have a the running back position (Carson, Miles, Wilds) will prevent him from racking up the huge numbers that voters like to see, especially with him coming of his knee injury. The Heisman is the reward that honors the most valuable player in college football but far too often it seems that the candidates need huge numbers to even be considered. That being said, what do y'all think Lattimore's realistic changes of winning the Heisman and being the 2nd Gamecock runningback to do so?

I think his chances rest on the team. If we go 10 or 11 wins again and he has camparible numbers to his Fr year he will be firmly entrenched in that fight. If we have a let down and win say 8 games, even with big time numbers he will probably be out of it. The Heisman is also turning into a popularity contest, luckily the media loves Latti.
