Let me get this out of the way right off the bat... Joe Burrow absolutely deserved to win the 2019 Heisman Trophy. His historic victory that saw the most first-place vote ever, was due to his dominance throughout the season and the undefeated record from the LSU Tigers (also #OHIO).
This is about something else entirely.
This also isn’t about rehashing the injustice of Rocket Ismail coming in second to BYU’s Ty Detmer in 1990 — which was an unholy act of ignorance. This is about the vote itself and what it represents.
