While most of the country was able to celebrate Oklahoma's Kyler Murray winning the 2018 Heisman Trophy on Saturday, a number of Alabama players didn't appreciate seeing their quarterback finish second in the voting.
Per Ralph D. Russo of the Associated Press, Murray beat out Tua Tagovailoa for college football's top individual honor by 296 points (2,167 to 1,871).
After Murray was announced as the winner, Tagovailoa's teammates and coaches used Twitter to voice their displeasure with the result:
Lyndell “Mack” Wilson Dirty3o™ufe0fMake them regret it 13.. Not saying Kyler isn’t good but he took 200 snaps more than Tua ud83eudd37ud83cudffeu2642ufe0f
Former Alabama players also expressed their unhappiness (warning: contains sensitive language):
Will LoweryDisappointing that @HeismanTrophy voters recognize and reward gross stats against extremely weak competition more than extraordinary & consistent efficiency in the toughest conference.
