It takes a great deal of time and effort to craft a proper Heisman campaign. With only three games remaining, Foreman is way behind and short on time to make up ground.

When you look at some of the other Heisman contenders, they have been putting their best foot forward building a resume all season long. They have had marquee games with marquee performances to build up hype towards securing a spot in New York City.

Foreman has been putting in great work all season, of course, but he hasn’t had the eyes of Heisman voters on him. Sure, they could go back and watch his former games but they won’t. Even if they did, though, they wouldn’t have the same impact. Most of Foreman’s Heisman push will come from these final three games and that’s not much of a resume to go off of.

Foreman remains one of the most overlooked talents in college football. That continues to be a hindrance and will ultimately cost him his spot in the Heisman race.
