Justin Fields favorite to win Heisman according to Lindy’s

Ohio State QB Justin Fields should have one whale of a season if college football takes off. Lindy’s believes he’ll win the Heisman Trophy.

Fields for Heisman?

What we say

There is good reason to think that Fields could take the bronze statue home. He put up some crazy numbers under Ryan Day in just his first year, and he’s had a complete offseason to understand the playbook better. Remember too, Fields didn’t play in many fourth quarters last year because there were so many blowouts.

With a little tougher schedule and a defense that probably won’t be quite as nasty, the games of a conference-only schedule will probably be a little closer. There isn’t the volume of games to shatter records, but his per-game stats should be even better than last season, especially behind a veteran offensive line and a deep and talented (albeit young) receiving corps.
