00:00Heisman Futures, let's wet our beak on this a little bit.

00:05Do you have any favorites out there?

00:07Are there someone that maybe has some value that's underrated?

00:10I know we're getting late in the year, so it's hard to find it.

00:12Let me just make sure I double-check the price on my man, Haynes King,

00:16because despite the loss against NC State,

00:18he had more than 500 yards of total offense

00:21and at least four total touchdowns.

00:23And if Georgia Tech is going to win the ACC,

00:26which they still have a great chance of doing,

00:27and play in the college football playoff,

00:29that is going to bolster the resume.

00:31But it's 100-1.

00:32I said last week, Bobby, and I stick with it.

00:34I think it's a two-quarterback race.

00:36I think it's Julian saying, and I think it's Fernando Mendoza.

00:39Mendoza had another Heisman moment.

00:41This is still a narrative war,

00:43despite what the stats and the odds might say.

00:46Mendoza had that Heisman moment

00:47in the incredible touchdown grab by Omar Cooper Jr.

00:50last week in State College.

00:52Now, a lot of Ohio State fans let me know

00:54that because he has thrown a fourth-quarter interception

00:56in those road games

00:58and had to come back with his team tied or trailing

01:00should not be a boost to his Heisman profile.

01:04I get that.

01:05I understand.

01:06I just found this stat right before I came on the show,

01:08and I wanted to share it.

01:09Julian Sayan has five games this year

01:12as Ohio State's quarterback

01:13with at least 300 passing yards,

01:15three passing touchdowns,

01:17and a completion percentage at 78% or better.

01:20There have been eight total

01:21such FBS games in 2025,

01:24and the Ohio State quarterback

01:25has five of those eight.

01:27Already, since offensive stats were fully tracked in 1995,

01:31Sayan's five games with at least 300 yards,

01:34three touchdowns,

01:34and a 78% completion percentage or better

01:36are the most in a single season in FBS history.

01:41Already, Julian Sayan deserves all the credit

01:43and recognition that I think he is starting

01:45to get nationally,

01:47and I really think it's neck and neck

01:48between him and Mendoza for the Heisman trophy.
