The case for
Howard’s question can be read as a fair test of whether Smith’s impact in the biggest games matches his status as a leading Heisman contender. Voters should weigh performances across the season and compare contenders consistently, rather than treating strong individual statistics as conclusive or assuming criticism reflects bias.

Smith’s performances against prominent opponents, including his 206 receiving yards and two touchdowns against Iowa, provide a strong case that he has made a difference in important games. Given the earlier joke about Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud and Howard’s praise of Michigan’s coach, critics may reasonably ask whether Howard is applying the same standard to Smith as to other contenders.
