When entering the season, there was no clear Heisman candidate in the country that stood out as a lock for New York. I faintly remember the name Christian Hackenberg being thrown out there preseason, and Leonard Fournette saw a little preseason love.
Leonard Fournette burst onto the scene and by week 4 everybody and their mother had Leonard Fournette winning the Heisman. He was well on his way to chasing Nick Chubb to see who could break
Herschel Walker’s single season rushing record by more yardage this year.
Nick Chubb suffered a gruesome injury against Tennessee and Leonard Fournette was embarrassed on national television against Alabama.
