Heisman Trophy presentation 2017 live stream: How to watch online
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2017 Heisman Trophy presentation and how you can watch the ceremony on TV or online.
There is just one college football game on today as the annual Army-Navy game will take place during the afternoon as they take center stage. After the game, all eyes will turn to New York where the Heisman Trophy ceremony will take place.
This year’s Heisman race comes down to last year’s winner, Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson, Stanford running back Bryce Love and Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield. I thought Penn State running back Saquon Barkley was awfully deserving of receiving an invitation but was snubbed after falling behind the pack slightly in the final month of the season. Prior to November, he would have been the runaway pick to win the Heisman.
The runaway pick to win it is Mayfield who pulled away from the field over the last handful of weeks and could make a run for the largest margin of victory, currently held by Troy Smith.

Mayfield leads the nation in quarterback rating and yards per attempt and completion percentage. He ranks second in touchdowns and yards and was the leader of the Big 12 champions and College Football Playoff team.
Love was hobbled by a high-ankle sprain that limited him the last five weeks of the year and kept him out of the win against Oregon State and still managed to finish second in the nation in rushing yards. He just missed the 2,000-yard mark but will be able to top that plateau if he plays in the Cardinal bowl game.
Jackson has been the forgotten man for much of the year as Louisville lost some games early in the year and many just outright dismissed Jackson despite him putting up nearly identical numbers, if not better, in many cases than last year.
Now that you’re briefed on what to expect for the presentation tonight, you need to know how you can watch so you don’t miss one second of the show.
