Every week, Eleven Warriors dives into the mentions of Ohio State's coaches and players to bring you the #HotTakes and ramblings of Buckeye Nation. This week, we're looking back at the Heisman Trophy presentation.
Happy Monday to everyone except the Heisman Trophy voters who put Jalen Hurts ahead of Justin Fields and Chase Young.
Award SZN was capped on Saturday night with the presentation of the Heisman Trophy, which rightfully went to former Ohio State and current LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. The Athens, Ohio native put together a remarkable 2019 season, eclipsing 5,000 yards of total offense to complement 51 touchdowns.
Burrow was an unsurprising runaway winner, receiving a record 841 first-place votes. The surprise came when Jalen Hurts, quarterback of the No. 4 Oklahoma Sooners, beat out fellow Buckeyes Justin Fields and Chase Young for second place.
The disrespect is almost too much to handle, but as many of you pointed out on Twitter, that can just be another chip on the Buckeyes shoulder as they go into their semifinal matchup against Clemson.
Fields and Young were tagged together in so many tweets that they're not getting their own sections in this special Heisman edition of the B-@-tle Cry. There's nothing you can do about that because I make the rules here and I'm terribly stubborn.
Let's get to the mentions.
@ Justin Fields and Chase Young
Last one to take their hand off the trophy wins a $50 gift card to Target.

This was such a good tweet I think I'll include it twice.

This may have been my favorite tweet of the week because she included the date of the title game.
See y'all in two weeks after the Fiesta Bowl.
