A lot has yet to be determined in what is shaping up to be an intense race to the finish to determine this year’s Heisman Trophy winner.
It wasn’t just the 10 consecutive losing seasons for UConn that preceded this one or the calls for the now-independent program to move down to the FCS level. It was the level of losing, a 10-50 record the last five seasons, nine defeats last year by at least double figures. It’s what made this year, and the job done by Jim Mora, so impressive. The Huskies became bowl eligible on Saturday by knocking off Liberty, and have beaten the likes of Boston College, UMass, and Fresno State.
Now, that is a very tough proposition unless the Trojans’ defense can suddenly flip a switch. But a one-loss Pac-12 champion with the star power of USC would certainly warrant consideration, particularly since the contenders after Georgia, the Michigan-Ohio State winner, and undefeated TCU don’t own overly impressive résumés.
