First 2022 Heisman mention for TVD...

I want to see Stevenson win the Thorpe and he’s our best chance at a first team All American in forever, if he returns. He should be, along with Chestnut, a Pre-Season first or second team All ACC CB. **** I hope he comes back. The thought of our secondary without him….

Actually had pretty good numbers and of course he's a household name. Doesn't mean he's better or will have a better year but he's a former 5-star kid who is, I believe, 14-2 as a starter.
off topic, but has any Riley recruited QB out of HS panned out so far at OU?

Most media over hyped award in sports. Rarely given to the "best" college football player but the best QB
I laughed at the award ceremony this year when the following past winners were on stage:
tebow, Robert griffin and Desmond Howard.
2 flamed out horribly in the NFL and the third was nothing more than a punt returner, and not at Hester’s level.
 
TVD 326 attempts, 62%, 2931 Yards, 25 TDs, 6 Ints
Caleb Williams 184 attempts, 62.5%, 1670 Yards, 18 TDs 4 Ints

TVD's sample size is almost doubled. So, why is Caleb Williams listed as a top contender and TVD is only listed as an "up and comer?????"

WillIan’s got a lot of publicity because OU had a good season and he unseated Rattler. But anyone who watched their games saw that Williams leaves much to be desired as a passer. Great runner but he threw up a lot of jump balls And not much was on time.

Paging all the guys I argued with for a week about this back in October. :)

I said he'd be mentioned in the Heisman conversation plenty in 2022. I was technically wrong because it's 2021 still and it's already started! There is a reason Mario said we have the best QB in the country with a straight face.

I hope this fanbase is starting to understand what we have in TVD. Potentially the best QB we've had here, maybe ever. And yes, that's a bold statement, but he will be in the conversation with the 1980's guys when it's all said and done. Especially if he plays two more years.

I've been a huge Garcia fan and I still think Garcia will do big things, but right now I'm all in on TVD. You combine the strides TVD has made with his work ethic and I think we're looking at the 2nd coming of Jim Kelly.

So was king for this year. Let it play out.

And he was the number one QB recruit his senior year

Depending on the DC then the D might be a decent unit because of how deep we are in the back end. We might be looking at the best UM season in a long time next year.
This is starting to look more and more likely when you look at the impact Mario has already had in terms of recruiting and getting kids to be very interested at the very least. We are not going to win the National Championship this year but this could be a very very good team if we can get enough pieces for the new DC. With Candle at OC(Hopefully) and the right guy at DC this will be a very good team and fun to watch. I can't wait! This will be the most excited I am for a season in nearly 20 years.
 
We don't need a Heisman winner, we need a natty. Ken Dorsey was never gonna win a heisman, but we all knew he had that championship swag in his game. Give me the natty.

First King, now TVD, next Jake for Heisman...i really don't want to be the delusional fanbase. Let's dominate every game and take it from there

The defense will most likely be terrible regardless of who coordinates it. Not much talent on the edge, at backer, or corner. Diaz the coach wasn’t nearly as much of a problem last year as Diaz the recruiter was.
