College Football World Reacts To Desmond Howard’s Bold Claim
ESPN college football analyst Desmond Howard has a pretty bold Heisman Trophy frontrunner claim following Saturday’s big games.
Michigan topped Ohio State on Saturday, 42-27. The Wolverines were led by a sensational performance from running back Hassan Haskins, who had five touchdowns in the victory.
Haskins was so good that he’s catapulted up to No. 1 on Desmond Howard’s leaderboard for the Heisman Trophy.
“Many people, including yours truly, said Kenneth Walker III was the Heisman front runner after he scored 5 TDs. Hassan Haskins @h2_2535 just scored 5TDs against the #2 team in the country.Hassan Haskins Heisman front runner,” he tweeted.

That seems like a pretty big stretch, though.
Haskins has been great as of late, but he likely has not put up Heisman Trophy numbers.
“Oh Des. You are so awesome sometimes. Haskins is a beast and had a great day. But.. Walker has more yards and more touchdowns,” one fan tweeted.
“He showed up for one game? Come on guy. Walker out that work in all season with a banged up line,” another fan tweeted.
It’s a pretty big leap for Howard, that’s for sure.

Howard is a Michigan man, though, so it’s not surprising to see him giving Haskins some love. However, it would be pretty shocking if the rest of the Heisman Trophy voters felt similar.
