The two Heisman Trophy frontrunners are Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa and Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray.
While most non-FOX Sports employees consider Tagovailoa the heavy favorite to win the award, Murray’s numbers are also incredible this year.
As you can see below, Oklahoma tweeted out a comparison of Murray’s numbers to Tagovailoa’s as part of Murray’s Heisman bid:

Of course, the big number that isn’t included is attempts (or rating) as Tagovailoa has attempted far fewer passes than Murray and the high-flying Oklahoma offense.
Also, Murray has a loss on his resume, while Tagovailoa and the Tide are are undefeated. Who will win? That remains to be seen, but both are having fantastic seasons.
