Houston’s Case Keenum showed enough against Tulsa to put himself in the hunt for at least one Heisman vote - mine.
That doesn’t mean he’ll get it. Oklahoma State’s Brandon Weeden, Alabama’s Trent Richardson and Stanford’s Andrew Luck are certainly still alive, too.
However, Keenum has made his case through a record-setting career.
Keenum was terrific in a 48-16 victory over Tulsa on Friday at Chapman Stadium. He had his usual numbers and had two memorable fourth-down touchdown passes.
Whether that is enough to get him to the Heisman Award Presentation in New York is yet to be determined.
However, at times against Tulsa, Keenum looked the equal or better than any of the four Heisman-worthy quarterbacks that TU has played this year - Weeden, OU’s Landry Jones and Boise’s Kellen Moore.
Perhaps he is not better. But, make no mistake, he is in the same league.
Keenum has one more chance to make his case. He’ll need a big day in the Conference USA Championship Game on Dec. 3 to get more Heisman attention.
