AuburnWire argues Bryce Young does not deserve to win the Heisman. Here’s why

Do these reasons kill Bryce Young’s chances at winning the Heisman? AuburnWire thinks so.

Lance Dawe of AuburnWire covers the other SEC team in the state of Alabama out East, or South if you ask Bryan Harsin. Dawe believes that Crimson Tide quarterback Bryce Young is not deserving of the Heisman for three reasons.

Young, through 13 games, has thrown for 4,322 yards, 43 touchdowns and only four interceptions on 68% completion.

He’s leading the charge on an offense that many Alabama fans would consider weak when compared to recent seasons.

Dawe argues that Young is not the best player on his own team, has boosted stats thanks to skill players around him and is not as good as another quarterback that is also a Heisman Finalist. The story goes into detail for each claim.

Top-ranked Alabama will play No. 4 Cincinnati in the 2021 Cotton Bowl on Dec. 31 in Arlington, Texas.
