Coach Heisman is still up for discussion. Can Diego Pavia potentially steal the Heisman after the performance by Fernando Mendoza? Mendoza didn't light the world on fire, but did knock off the top team in the nation, Ohio State. He's back to -2500. Diego Pavia is still there at 12 to 1. Does he have any shot to steal the hardware? Boy, it doesn't look like it. I mean, I mean, Fernando Mendoza, you know, he made a big 3rd down, uh, 33 yard touchdown pass to win the game with about 2.5 minutes left, uh, for Indiana, probably enough to push him over the top. But I promise you, if fans and if voters would watch the highlight of Diego Pave. Watch how he carried that team and that program on his shoulders. I think he's clearly the most deserving of the Heisman Trophy. Not sure they're gonna give it to him, because like you said, uh, Ohio State, uh, Indiana, uh, who won that game likely was going to push that quarterback in towards Heisman Trophy consideration. Uh, now, I, I don't know if you saw Vanderbilt's, uh, head coach Clark Lee, but they asked him about why Vanderbilt, you know, missed out and was he bitter, uh, in any capacity being a 10 and 2 football team. And basically, he had come out and said that they had every opportunity to knock off Texas. on the road, they lost that game by 3 in Alabama, a game where they were covering for much of the way and then allowed it to slip. Lost that game by 11 in the final, uh, 20 seconds of that matchup against the Crimson Tide. Thoughts about what Clark Lee said about his team had every opportunity. They just didn't make enough plays to pick up the wins. I think everything that Notre Dame said the wrong way, he said the right way. He, uh, he said, you know what, we just wanna play football. We're, we're proud and honored that we were able to have the season that we did. Uh, we've got a chance to play another football game, and our guys just wanna work together and play another football game. Didn't blame anybody, uh, said, let's go play football. That's the way you probably should do it. If we're gonna set an example for those players, uh, and how to respond to things, when things don't go your way, that's how you respond.
