One player can alter the entire course of a season for a conference. In the Southeastern Conference, that player often wins the Heisman Trophy.
Several players from the SEC come to mind in regard to taking over the league. Former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow went from a 57.8% passer in 2018 to the most dominant passer college football has ever seen.

The dynamic player is as skilled a downfield thrower as his arm is strong. He is the most underrated deep ball passer in college football. Add in his ability to run, and you’re looking at a legitimate Heisman front runner.
