October 8, 20187 yr These are from Brandon Zimmerman (@BZSEC) on Twitter: - He's yet to play in the 4th Quarter - 31 of 44 drives led by Tua have resulted in touchdowns - His QB rating is currently 258.7. Baker Mayfield holds the All-Time record at 198.7. - 19.7 yards per completion average - He's only thrown seven more incomplete passes (25) than touchdowns (18) ...and your Heisman winner is. He's still got a year and a half of college left. The deck was pretty much already stacked in Bama's favor, but you actually know you're playing for second if Tua and the offense is going to be this efficient. Just silly numbers.
October 8, 20187 yr Haskins, Murray, and Grier are having fantastic seasons, but it’s going to be a landslide victory. Haskins threw for 455 yards and 6 TDs on Saturday and his heisman odds decreased. That’s how insane what Tua is doing right now is.
October 8, 20187 yr The Heisman will be won or lost in November. Tua is great but he will have to go to Death Valley and beat that LSU defense. And Haskins will have to beat Michigan. Edited October 9, 20187 yr by Jumper_Dad R13
October 8, 20187 yr He’s not even playing in the 4th and the foot is off the gas by the 3rd Q of basically every game so far.
October 8, 20187 yr Author The heisman will be won or loss in November. Tua is great but he will have to go to Death Valley and beat that LSU defense. And Haskins will have to beat Michigan IF Bama loses to LSU, that won’t keep him from winning it.
October 8, 20187 yr IF Bama loses to LSU, that won’t keep him from winning it. I agree. I think Bama would have to lose 2 games and miss the playoffs for Tua not to win it.
October 9, 20187 yr Author @TheDeuce Hypothetical Question: Better player, Lamar in 2016 or Tua in 2018? Lamar is by far the better athlete, it’s not even close IMO. Tua also likely won’t finish with the gaudy numbers, mostly because he doesn’t need to, because Bama. Better true QB? Probably Tua.
October 9, 20187 yr Tua’s numbers are crazy good. I can’t imagine any way of him losing the heisman now.

I honestly don't know which of those numbers is most impressive. Bama's defense is not that great, so I do feel they will encounter some trouble at some point. But with a QB at the helm that can deliver the ball with some accuracy, they are devastating on offense. I was watching on Saturday against Arkansas and a simple 10 yard pass and catch @GrantNKY could make to Jeudy takes off for 75 yards because of the run threat they possess.
October 9, 20187 yr IF Bama loses to LSU, that won’t keep him from winning it. I'd be shocked if Bama loses or even struggles vs. LSU.

Almost as amazing is the fact that last year he recorded 6 DNPs. Surely a coach as great as Saban knew what he had sitting on the bench.
