Is Teddy Bridgewater the big loser of Louisville's weak schedule?

[LOOGY]

There is no doubt Teddy Bridgewater is one of the most talented players in the country. But does UL's lack of schedule strength dash his hopes of winning the Heisman? He had a heck of a day today but only threw for 200 yds because he played less than 3 quarters. Does this week in and week out kill his chances?

[sportsfan41]

Yes.

[tcjkbt]

Yes, but he reportedy doesn't place a high priority on winning the award.

I get what you're saying, but Teddy's "lack" of yards today had more to do with Louisville's field position than him playing 3 quarters...

They're giving him plenty of props at halftime of the Michigan-UConn game. Yardage is one stat, TDs another--and right now he leads college football in that catergory.

Heres another possibility. Will voters "punish" him because he will have so great of stats against inferior competition?

Will he be the first guy picked in the draft, given that Clowney has been struggling/hurt?

But is that going to matter much 10 weeks from now.

If the team picking needs a QB then I'd say yes. He's got a pretty good lead in the draft ahead of other QB's that are projected in next years draft.

I think that will be the biggest problem.

[jvdfc]

Yes.

Certainly can't help. Big moments in big games win the Heisman. We'll see if those situations happen once Louisville gets into conference play. Louisville may not have big-time games against ranked opponents, but thanks to the American's TV scheduling, Louisville will have several games over the next two months where they'll be the only game on, giving Teddy at least some chance to make his case to the viewers and the voters.

Agreed! His performance in the bowl game could be a determining factor, also.

The Heisman will be awarded before UL plays in a bowl game.

It will hurt him but I feel he will be the first pick anyway. BTW, Gameday had a great segment on him and his mother yesterday.
