## Resource

What would Julian Sayin need to do to win the Heisman Trophy? Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss the path for Ohio State’s quarterback to become a Heisman contender, including the stats he would need, the wins that would matter most, and why the award is still so tied to narrative, record, and big-game moments. They compare Sayin’s chances to recent Heisman quarterback seasons, discuss how Jeremiah Smith could both help and hurt his campaign, and look back at how much the award has changed from the days of Gino Torretta, Andre Ware, David Klingler, Cam Newton, Troy Smith, and others. 00:00 — Intro 00:11 — BuckeyeInsiders.com launch update 01:11 — Red, White, and Buckeye Insiders 01:38 — What Julian Sayin needs to do to win the Heisman 03:35 — Why wins may matter more than stats 05:24 — How close the Heisman race can get 07:10 — Could Ohio State vs. Oregon become a Heisman showdown? 09:01 — How many huge passing games does Sayin need? 10:32 — Heisman moments and Troy Smith comparisons 11:14 — Gino Torretta and old-school Heisman quarterback numbers 12:08 — Looking back at the 1992 Heisman race 13:12 — How much quarterback stats have changed 14:47 — David Klingler, Andre Ware, and video-game passing numbers 15:06 — Final thoughts and listener reminders What would Julian Sayin need to do to win the Heisman this season?
