00:00Let's take a look at that other Heisman Trophy Awards market here, which does have the Miami

00:07Hurricanes' Cam Ward sitting at the FanDuel Sportsbook, Joe, at a plus 450 number, followed

00:11by Milrow and Dart here, and then Gabriel at 9-1.

00:15So I always like to start at the top here.

00:16Do you agree right now the leader in the clubhouse should be Cam Ward?

00:20Yeah, because he has that marquee win over Florida.

00:23They're averaging 405 passing yards per game.

00:27There's re-found and new-found optimism for Miami, and again, they're undefeated, right?

00:32That's what we expected when Miami got the victory over Florida.

00:36We've seen the progression as it relates to the passing attack, and we've seen their former

00:40quarterback Tyler Van Dyke get injured for Wisconsin, right?

00:43So it's a complete upgrade to what they had last year.

00:47They have to maintain that momentum.

00:48I don't suggest, and personally, I wouldn't buy into Cam Ward at plus 450 now because

00:54they still have big games on their schedule.

00:57Next week, they play Virginia Tech.

00:59They also have to play a rivalry game with Florida State and others in terms of the conference

01:04teams like Louisville that are undefeated heading into week number four.

01:08So we have to see how this plays out, but he is deserving, Donnie, of the plus 450 prize

01:13because he's done it on the football field.

01:16Let's get to the SEC.

01:17If I give you one bet at even odds right now, 6-1 and 6-1, Milrow and Dart, which quarterback

01:23are you taking to in the Heisman, and why?

01:25Well, I would take Dart.

01:27I was on Dart preseason, and I just think that they're a little bit more complete than

01:31where Alabama is right here, right now.

01:34They're struggling a little bit.

01:35Alabama is with consistency.

01:37We saw that last week, not covering the number against USF.

01:40They pulled away in regards to that matchup a couple weeks ago.

01:44We saw them dominate Wisconsin, but that's not an elite passing attack or an elite offense

01:49in terms of the Badgers.

01:51They still have to play Georgia in a couple weeks.

01:53I think that'll be the telltale sign.

01:56I think if we're betting right now 6-1, I have more confidence in Lane Kiffin and Jackson

02:01Dart that are basically averaging 60 points per game than Milrow and Kaelin DeBoer, especially

02:07in regards to a big spot.

02:08So I would take a shot on Dart, but I will say this.

02:11Carson Beckett, 14-1, Donnie, has everything in front of him.

02:15He's got Alabama and he's got Texas.

02:17The fact that he regressed a little bit last week because they beat Kentucky by one point,

02:22I think he has the best value out of all the SEC quarterbacks right now.
