Josh Pate Would’ve Picked Diego Pavia Over Fernando Mendoza

Pate said he would’ve voted for Diego Pavia despite Fernando Mendoza’s Heisman win, calling Pavia college football’s “most outstanding player.” He argued the margin should’ve been closer, noting Pavia led rushing in 7 games and topped Mendoza in passing yards while playing fewer games. Pate blamed inattentive voters, saying odds swung after Mendoza’s Big Ten title appearance.
