It was completely expected.
Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts became the fifth Heisman finalist for the Sooners in the last four years.
Unlike the two quarterbacks prior to him, Hurts did not win the 2019 Heisman Trophy. LSU quarterback Joe Burrow was just announced as the 2019 Heisman Trophy winner.
No consolation, but Hurts finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting.
Total points
Joe Burrow 2,608
Jalen Hurts 762
Justin Fields 747
Chase Young 643 #Sooners— Eric Bailey (@EricBaileyTW) December 15, 2019
Hurts finished with more points than Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields and Ohio State defensive end Chase Young.
Burrow set the record for highest percentage of first-place votes, most points as a percentage of possible points and most ballots named as percent of blocks.
Hurts had a remarkable season, throwing for 3,634 yards at a 71.8 completion percentage, ran for 1,255 more and also accounted for 50 total touchdowns.
LSU’s Heisman Trophy winner and Oklahoma’s Heisman Trophy runner-up will matchup in the College Football Playoff at the Peach Bowl on Dec. 28.
