The Alabama Crimson Tide had a double honor last year. Not only hoisting the BCS National Championship trophy, but they watched as their superstar running back, Derrick Henry, ran away with the Heisman Trophy.
Most polls have Clemson’s dual threat quarterback, Deshaun Watson as the odds on favorite to win the trophy this year. The Tigers open up at Jordan-Hare Stadium against Auburn on September third. But besides a game at Florida State, the Tiger’s schedule seem rather tame. This will give Watson a chance to put up big statistics.
Keeping the Heisman Trophy in SEC country will be difficult.
