ESPN analyst predicts Sam Howell to win Heisman

Posted Aug 30, 2021
Who's your Heisman pick? David Hale: Sam Howell. Three things go into winning the Heisman Trophy. First, it helps to be a quarterback. Second, while it's not a necessity to make the playoff, your team has to spend most of the season inside the competing top 10. Lastly, you've got to put up some eye-popping numbers. Howell checks all the boxes. (ESPN.com)
