Bain "4" Heisman

Bain is an animal

Yes… I use PFF weekly. BUT it is not the be all/end all, and I certainly don't want it deciding the heisman.

I was watching those nerds on PFF and they basically made a very good point.
Bain is the highest rated player at any position. Not only the highest rated DE. Not only the highest rated defensive player.

The highest rated CFB player in the Nation. And it is not even close.


He deserves the hype. Someone has to start the bandwagon. I am driving it.

Of course it is not likely to happen. He would need to score some TDs. Maybe even get in on that T formation play as a FB or something.

But this guy deserves all the hype, kind words and accolades in the world. If he continues playing like this for the rest of the year he deserves to at least be invited to New York in December.
At the very least.

Suh would have played like 13 games not 16. Heisman voting really is done after 12 games.

ACC championship will be played before the Heisman so he has 13 games if we make it. I don’t think he has a shot really because that’s just a flash award. Unless he goes 10+ sacks and is literally unblocked all season.

Literally puts him almost on pace lol

Replicating these first 4 games puts him at 88 tackles, 16 TFL and 8 sacks. Not to mention he’s already played the best OL’s he’s going to face and Bethune which will be his lowest snap count all year. Praise to the football gods it could be more with a conference companionship game appearance

Just to further emphasize this, prior to his own conference championship game Suh had 70 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 16tfl. He just had an absolutely insane 4.5 sack performance in the conference championship game that catapulted him into serious heisman consideration. I could easily see Bain having a couple 2 or 3 sack games against some of the weaker OLs and start getting some more traction if he keeps playing the way he has, along with having some more counting stats

Man I hope so. Bain was kind of the first bonafide south Florida star that stayed home. I remember people stressing because he was riding around with Saban in the golf cart. If he can just be a finalist that would be huge. And he deserves it, seems like a hard working MF
 
Rueben Bain Jr. is not winning the Heisman for the same reasons that Ndamukong Suh did not win the Heisman, for the same reasons that Luke Kuechly did not win the Heisman and for the same reasons Julius Peppers only finished tenth in a Heisman voting behind David Carr and Joey Harrington. Elvis Dumervil once had 20 sacks in a single season and he finished behind Michael Robinson, a QB who hardly completed 52% of his passes, threw ten picks but ran for 800 yards. Stats do not matter one bit.

It took them almost two decades after Charles Woodson to give the Heisman to a defender and if Travis Hunter would have played CB only, he would not have won the Heisman. As a defensive player, history shows, you can have the most mindblowing absurd season (Dumervil) on the ****tiest teams (Suh) and voters will ignore you because there is some white dude in the Midwest playing for Texas that can throw a spiral. The amount of greatness that we have seen on defense for the past two decades in college football resulted in a total of two Heisman winners, and one of them played WR next to CB, which is the sole reason why he received it in the first place.

I understand the hype around it, but people forgot that they put Gabriel over Ward in the Heisman voting. Nobody with a brain would suggest that Gabriel was better than Ward last season, not even our rivals and yet it still happened. The Heisman does not go to defensive players, end of. And the further I go back in history, the more dumbfounding it gets... Deion Sanders and Derrick Thomas behind Timm Rosenbach in the Heisman voting, LMAO
 
Wouldnt it be worth it recruiting/brand wise for the university to put some money into a Bain4Heisman campaign?!? Even non cane fans might get behind a DL winning the award. Its cool/different. Theres no QB love story this year that survived week1.

Absolutely insane how yall spent all offseason sh*ttin' on PFF & disregarding them as bullsh*t site that doesn't know anything about Football...

But yet literally (no exaggeration) every single week of the season, after every single game, there has been threads & posts, where PFF was the MAIN reference point.

Grain of salt huh...

Not a fan of pff. Just using eyeballs to see he is a top 15 player. The Texas and USCe DEs are in the top 15 IMO. QBs will get love for passing the ball a ton so I don’t see how any DE makes it to NYC. ****, Beck if he starts clicking will eat up Bain’s votes.
