2014 FUTURE HIESMAN PLAY WILL BE ON
TREVOR KNIGHT AT 25/1
Oklahoma had an uninterrupted streak of Level 2 or higher QBs from 2003 to 2012, until Jones graduated and left the coaches with a decision to make about the offense.
On the one hand, they had a full-grown Yeti disguised as a junior named Blake Bell, whom they'd been utilizing in short-yardage situations to bulldoze over hapless Big 12 defenses. Bell was listed as a pro-style QB out of high school, but he lacked the ability to make the downfield throws or the consistent accuracy outside of the hashes.
On the other hand, they had redshirt sophomore Trevor Knight, who had flashed tremendous athleticism while prepping the 2012 Oklahoma defense on the scout team.
Knight's potential earned him the starting nod early in the year. But he got dinged up when Oklahoma's coaches attempted to supplement his lack of familiarity with the system by adding read-option elements, to take advantage of his athleticism.
Eventually Knight recovered his health and took advantage of bowl practices to seize control of the offense. Then he unleashed the now legendary performance against unsuspecting Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, becoming a 2014 Heisman contender based off of one game.
Trevor is a man amongst boys. He will overshadow every QB this year. The arm strength he has is one that has not been seen in recent college QB'S.
This is why I like Trevor Knight at 25/1 to win the 2014 Hiesman Trophy
