"Geez Louis": $60M worth Pat McAfee expresses disgust as Oregon Duck disses Travis Hunter with 'snap' comment

The discussion regarding the 2024 Heisman Trophy has been all over the map and Pat McAfee has also gotten into the discussion. At the moment, it appears to be a two-man race between Boise State Broncos running back Ashton Jeanty and Colorado Buffaloes two-way player Travis Hunter.

In the clip below, the Oregon Duck mascot wrote "Snaps Ain't A Stat Tho" on his whiteboard as this week's message before hitting the Heisman Trophy pose. This response left Pat McAfee stunned on his show.

The $60 million-worth (according to Celebrity Net Worth) sports analyst, McAfee seemed amused by the mascot's message. It will be interesting to see which players are named finalists, and who end up winning the 2024 Heisman Trophy.

Travis Hunter vs. Ashton Jeanty: Who has the advantage for the 2024 Heisman Trophy?

The 2024 Heisman Trophy race is one of the most intriguing battles that we have seen for the top individual award in college football over the last few years. According to Betting Odds, Travis Hunter is the massive favorite at -5000 to win the award compared to Ashton Jeanty with +1300.

This is an interesting discussion but Hunter should have the advantage nonetheless. He is doing things that have not been done in a long time in college football, dominating on both sides of the football. Hunter has 92 receptions for 1,152 yards (12.5 yards per catch) with 14 touchdown receptions as well as two carries for five yards and a rushing touchdown on offense while also recording 31 total tackles with eight pass deflections, one forced fumble and four interceptions as the team's top cornerback.

Compare to Ashton Jeanty, who has dominated on the ground for Boise State, posting 312 carries for 2,288 yards (7.3 yards per attempt) with 28 rushing touchdowns as well as 18 catches for 102 yards (5.7 yards per reception) and a touchdown grab. He can also improve his numbers as his team is competing in the Mountain West Championship.

However, the argument is similar to what MLB has with Shohei Ohtani. Being able to dominate in multiple positions is greater than being the best at one. It creates more value for the team and is tough to be overlooked by voters for an individual award.
