Have to show scUM that Chase is better. Then he might get big ten votes from the media
Chase is no where near the TD total but has more receiving yards already. If Chase gets over 2000 yards he will go to New York
Oh it's real, and it's spectacular
I don't think he needs that to make trip. I think we'd have to run the table for him to get his name called.
The Heisman jumped the shark 30 years ago when Gino Toretta got it over Marshall Faulk.

Saw his potential early this year. You could just tell he was so in sync with the line. Posted this on 9/12.

Heisman straw poll: Hendon Hooker overtakes C.J. Stroud, and Blake Corum climbs to fourth
Hooker, who cut into Stroud's lead after an impressive win at LSU, received 33 of 37 first-place votes after the Vols' win against Alabama.

One of the ESPN guys over the weekend had his Heisman candidate list. Had Blake Corum on the list but no Chase Brown. Someone find that video and tweet it to Chase!
Corum ahead of Brown has to be based on TDs and team ranking right? Those are not really good metrics for which is actually better or more valuable.
We should be putting that up in front of the defense. That battle will be our defense against "THE BEST RB IN THE BIG TEN." Chase will do his thing week in and week out. You can show him too if you think that will help him finish more runs for TDs but I think it will pump up our defense more than Chase.
It would be great if he got to make the trip but he isn't winning the Heisman unless he has a huge increase in TDs. Love the publicity for Illinois and Brown though!
Best case scenario is we get McCray back next game or two and Brown is the focal point but McCray takes away some of his carries. I would rather keep a healthy Brown than one that will tire down at the end of the season. Time to get Thunder and Lightning back together for the home stretch

It's a YPC thing and a lack of TD thing. Chase is amazing and we owe him our season. His YPC is around 15th best I think. He has the most yards but way more attempts. Not his fault really and comparing our OL to Michigan 5 stars etc could explain away a lot of the difference, but that's basically the reasoning.
Honestly, I think it'd be better for our team overall if McCray can come back and give us a 1-2 punch....but it'll likely mean a blow to Brown's Heisman chances. OR maybe not....maybe with the Thunder (McCray), it gives the Lightning (Brown) more chances to break the long ones and up the yards on fewer carries.

Which would you rather have--the second or third leading rusher in the country with 13 TDs, or the #1 yardage gainer in the country with 4 TDs. Granted there's a correlation to how that yardage relates to overall scoring, but the simple fact is that scUM has rushed the ball into the endzone 24 times to our 9.
I'm not saying I'd trade Brown for Corum, but I can't make a case that Brown is more Heisman worthy without cherry-picking stats.
