He was shy to join his 20/20 club, a club where four of his eight members are Heisman his trophy winners, while only making one pass. finished his touchdown. Cunningham didn’t start gaining much national recognition until the second half of the 2021 season due to a deep crop of ACC quarterbacks and Louisville’s struggles as a team, but many “dark horse” Heismans in the offseason. A deeper running backroom and Cunningham’s efforts to cut back on running could hurt his overall productivity, but he’s on par with last year’s numbers. and Louisville won more, this could be a possibility.
