It was a classy gesture by Fowler to shout out 2 players who many thought deserved to be in New York. Corum finished his season with 1,463 rushing yards and 18 TDs. Hooker finished the season with 3,135 passing yards and 27 TDs before suffering a knee injury.
The Heisman finalists are all QBs: TCU’s Max Duggan, Ohio State’s CJ Stroud, Georgia’s Stetson Bennett, and USC’s Caleb Williams.
