The debate surrounding Kyler Murray and Tua Tagovailoa for the Heisman Trophy in 2018 had the media buzzing. As we look ahead to 2019, the focus seems to shift to Tua and Trevor. However, the quarterback position is not the only area of intense competition. Let’s take a closer look at the potential positional battles in the upcoming season.
While we eagerly await the start of the new season, it’s never too early to kick off the All-American discussion. Trevor Lawrence of Clemson didn’t even start the 2018 season as the primary quarterback for Clemson. Meanwhile, Tua Tagovailoa, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, is back at Alabama for the 2019 season.
A quarterback who, as a freshman, throws for 347 yards and three touchdowns in a dominant national championship victory against a top rival is bound to capture the attention of fans. Tua Tagovailoa’s performance hints at a promising future in college football and he’s poised to make a significant impact in the coming season.
Shifting our focus to Wisconsin, Jonathan Taylor racked up an impressive 2,194 rushing yards last season, marking the 13th most prolific single-season performance in college football history. However, despite Taylor’s stellar performance, Wisconsin’s overall tournament showing left much to be desired.
Taylor’s exceptional talent was overshadowed by Wisconsin’s tournament struggles, with his untimely fumbles going unnoticed. As we look ahead to the 2019 season, there are high hopes that Jonathan Taylor can surpass the 2,500-yard mark and lead Wisconsin to success in the Big Ten conference.
