Auburn Doesn't Need Jeremy Johnson to be a Heisman-Caliber Quarterback
Jeremy Johnson is getting a ton of pre-season hype, does the season really rest on him performing to the highest expectations?
During SEC Media Days last week, SI.com's Andy Staples wrote an article that Auburn's 2015 season depends on Jeremy Johnson living up to the hype. I disagree. I think Auburn can have a great season if Jeremy Johnson is just good.
What, Exactly, Is the Hype Level?
Jeremy Johnson is receiving a lot of hype, but hype is just a word to describe praise before the facts. I've chosen to use Heisman Trophy candidate as a point of argument because it's something we can point to that has numbers to compare from the last few seasons.
