Who Is Going to Win The Heisman Trophy?

In my opinion, Diego Pavia is worth a play for Heisman. He leads hsi competition in all purpose yards. Once the hype dies down from the Big Ten Championship Game, the voters may be inclined for the one quarterback who has the best stats. They may even think that giving the lone non-playoff quarterback the Heisman Trophy makes up for the fact they missed the playoffs. When you consider this, it is a compelling case for Diego Pavia to win the Heisman at such great odds.
