Traditionally, yes. But not this year and their run defense has been terrible.
DraftKings now has Jeanty well behind the leaders in odds for the trophy.
Hunter is +180
Gabriel and Cam are +280
Jeanty is +550
Obviously not even close to over but he’s going to have to be otherworldly the rest of the year to actually win it.
The poster called them a directional school, & I corrected as they were trying to downplay Jeanty’s game. SDSU is anything but a directional school regardless if they r having a down yr.
Furthermore, SDSU run defense is 96th in total yards given up, but they are T-68th in ypc given up (4.1), & T-33rd for total rushing TDs allowed (9).
Here’s what they’ve allowed/g:
Game 1 v. FCS Texas A&M-Commerce: 63 yrds (1.9 ypc)
Game 2 v. OrSt: 237 yrds (4.6 ypc)
Game 3 v. Cal: 275 yrds (6.5 ypc)
Game 4 v. CMU: 154 yrds (3.7 ypc)
Game 5 v. Hawaii: 84 yrds (2.9 ypc)
Game 6 v. Wyoming: 190 yrds (4.6 ypc)
Game 7 v. WSU: 114 yrds (2.9 ypc)
Game 8 v. BSU: 219 yrds (4.8 ypc)
Like u guys need to stop looking at raw numbers, & to keep it solid, the vast majority of fans on this board don’t watch as many games as I do b/c many r out East. The only lead back to avg. more ypc than Jeanty against SDSU was Cal’s Javian Thomas who went HAM for 9.9 ypc, & they r a P4 school.
I can’t tell u how long I’ve implored this board to stop looking at raw numbers & look at the games. I have this same argument w/ LBJ stans who say he’s the greatest b/c of raw numbers vs. looking at complete context including team hopping & how long he’s played to obtain said raw numbers compared to his contemporaries or predecessors. (I digress)
Regardless, Jeanty & Boise St r a great story & he’ll probably get his invite to NY; but imho this Heisman race is between Ward, & Hunter w/ the dark horse being Gabriel.
