The Heisman Trophy will be handed out Tuesday night, a month later than usual in a college football season in which almost nothing has turned out quite as expected.
Here are four ways this season’s ceremony will be different.
The probable No. 1 pick in the N.F.L. draft is unlikely to win.
Who’s the biggest star in college football? Most fans and experts would say Trevor Lawrence, the Clemson quarterback. Who’s going to go No. 1 in the N.F.L. draft? Probably Lawrence.
So Lawrence has to be the Heisman favorite, right? Guess again. Although he led Clemson to a 10-2 record and a spot in the College Football Playoff semifinals, and while he is one of the four finalists announced, and while quarterbacks have won in nine of the last 10 years, Lawrence is not expected to win.
