Two Heisman Trophy candidates will be featured in Friday night’s Pac-12 championship game, with Oregon’s Bo Nix and Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. matching up in a rivalry rematch.
However, LSU wants to remind fans attending the game in Las Vegas that its quarterback is also a Heisman contender, if not the favorite for the award.
To wit, a billboard in at the intersection of Interstate 15 and Flamingo Road in Vegas is touting Jayden Daniels as the best player in college football. He has a strong case for Heisman honors, having thrown for 3,812 yards and 40 touchdowns with 1,134 rushing yards and another 10 scores on the ground.
