Well, Travis Hunter and Ashton Jeanty were not enough for the Heisman Trophy battle, and now a new candidate has joined the race. There is no doubt that CFB has more than just two exceptional players, and each of them has their own strengths and exceptional gameplay.
However, with recent turns of events on December 7, insider Chris Karpman highlighted Arizona State’s head coach, Kenny Dillingham, expressing his desire to see his star running back on the Heisman finalist list. He confirms this news on X, saying, “Dillingham on whether Cam Skattebo should be a Heisman finalist in New York: “I do think he should be. Turn on the tape.”
Looks like Kenny Dillingham approves Skattebo’s Heisman ticket to New York. And why not? The former Sacramento State player already had an impressive resume this year, but what he did in the Big 12 Championship game made the case even more stronger. It’s no wonder that the GOAT Nick Saban name-dropped Skattebo while going for the Sun Devils to win the conference. How did he fare in the game today?

Well, 16 carries for 170 yards and two touchdowns to help ASU triumph by 45-19 over the Cyclones. However, these are just numbers. If you didn’t see the game live, hop on to YouTube and watch the highlights. Specifically, watch one particular run from Skattebo in the first half for a 47-yard gain.
Of course, you can see that it was a big play, but when you watch it, you realize why people go ga-ga over the Sun Devils’ running back. Several Iowa State defenders tried to bring him down, but Cam looked determined to avoid just that. Almost falling, just about to go down, and you think the play is over. But, no! He just kept going on and on and on. In between, he left several Cyclones’ defenders on the ground. The whole thing was a piece of magic. A true artist! It showed the degree of strength and power Skattebo puts in all the runs. No wonder they are in the playoffs now. At 11-2, Kenny Dillingham’s team deserves it all.
