Ontheair from LaGuardia Airport to the Times Square into a 2-hour journey. The delay cost them lunch at an Ital- ian restaurant, but other- wise all was well. "I'm just enjoying the moment and happy to be here," Henry said. Being a finalist is a once- in-lifetime event for most players, often the culmi- nation of a great career. For Watson and McCaf- frey, maybe this is just a test run. "Of course, next year I want to be back. And if I happen to stay my senior year I want to be back then," Watson said. Only twice (2008 and '10) in the previous 10 sea- sons have at least two of the top three finishers in the Heisman voting re- turned to school the next year. Only twice in the last 10 seasons (2012 and '06) have five of the top eight returned the next season. The contenders in 2016 aren't confined to just those players whose names will show up in the final voting Saturday night. Georgia's Nick Chubb, one of the preseason fa- vorites this year, will re- turn from an injury, as well as Washington State's Luke Falk and Baylor's Seth Rus- sell. Though maybe Jarrett Stidham will be the Baylor quarterback with the Heis- man hype? Ohio State's J.T. Bar- rett should be the Buck- eyes starting quarterback from Day 1 and there is a good chance people will start noticing that Oregon's Royce Freeman is as good as all those stud running backs down South. Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer and Houston's Greg Ward Jr. will be trying to build upon breakout sea- sons. UCLA's Josh Rosen and Penn State's Saquon Bark- ley are primed for fantastic follow-ups to their fabulous freshman seasons. The Heisman race should have a very differ- ent feel from this season, when none of last year's fi- nalists were back. "The race was kind of a slow burn," Huston said. TCU's Trevone Boykin was the presumptive favor- ite after finishing fourth in the 2014 voting, but that back-loaded Big 12 sched- ule didn't do him any fa- vors. Then he threw four interceptions in his first really big game, a loss to Oklahoma State on Nov. 7. Fournette was rolling along as the favorite head- ing into that Saturday, but the race flipped in Tusca- loosa, Alabama. The Tide stuffed Fournette and Henry ran for 210 yards and three touchdowns on 38 carries, assuming the role of front-runner. McCaffrey, Watson and Mayfield made late pushes, but Henry just kept chug- ging along. Conventional wisdom is the voting for the 80th Heisman will be relatively close, but Henry is the odds-makers' choice to become the second Al- abama player to win the Heisman and the first run- ning back to win it since the Tide's Mark Ingram in 2009. Seniors have won 56 Heisman trophies, but this will be the ninth consec- utive season with a non- senior winner — the last was Ohio State quarter- back Troy Smith in 2006 — and everything is lined up for 2016 to be more of the same. Top players are arriving on campus more prepared to play than ever before, with an eye toward jump- ing to the NFL after three years. For college coaches, there is no sense trying to save that talent. "If you're in a program like Texas, for example, and you're going to have NFL players, I don't think you can redshirt them any- more," said former Long- horns coach Mack Brown, who is now an analyst for ESPN. "You just got to play them. You're not going to get more than three years out of a great player, most likely." Like Watson and Mc- Caffrey, Cook, Fournette, Chubb, Freeman and Bar- rett will be juniors next season. "Now I know what it takes," McCaffrey said about becoming a finalist, "following with anything less than that is unaccept- able for me." Heisman FROM PAGE 1 said Samardzija, who turns 31 on Jan. 23. "When we were sitting there and looking at myself out of the stretch, it was a pretty quick fix after that." In two starts after ad- dressing the problem, Sa- mardzija went 2-0 with just two runs in 16 innings. Even during his worst days, however, the Giants saw enough glimpses of his 2014 All-Star form to sign him this week to a five-year, $90 million con- tract. Brian Sabean, the team's executive vice pres- ident, said the stat that jumped out at the organi- zation was 214 — the num- ber of innings Samardzija tallied last season, under- scoring his reputation as a workhorse. "Everybody wants in- nings," Sabean said. "As much as this contract is about performance, it's about going to the post." Samardzija's perfor- mance faltered down the stretch last season, when he went 1-8 with a 9.24 ERA in his first nine starts after the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. But he also eclipsed the 30-start mark for the third time in his career. Since 2013, only eight at pitch- ers have at least 30 starts, 200 innings and 160 strike- outs in every season: Sa- mardzija, Bumgarner, Cole Hamels, Felix Hernandez, Jon Lester, Jose Quintana, Max Scherzer and James Shields. "Last year was great for me," Samardzija said. "Ob- viously on paper it wasn't, but you learn a lot about yourself in those situa- tions, when the last thing you want to do is go out there and grab a ball and face Miguel Cabrera again. When you do it with all your heart, you learn a lot about yourself." Samardzija projects as the No. 2 starter behind Bumgarner. The Giants are hoping he can return to his All-Star form of 2014. In a season split between the Chicago Cubs and A's, he went 7-13 with a 2.99 ERA. The Giants circled quickly on Samardzija af- ter the Arizona Diamond- backs signed the premier free agent, Zack Greinke, to a six-year, $206.5 mil- lion deal. Their quick action mat- tered a lot to the first-time free agent. "I can't tell you the ex- citement I had when they came to me and I was on their radar," Samardzija said Friday. "Obviously, you have to play it cool, right? It's kind of like being in high school and trying to find a homecoming date. You just don't want to be left out there in the cold." The Giants suspect that Samardzija might have a later peak than most pitch- ers. In college, he split his time as a receiver for the Notre Dame football team. And he opened his career as a relief pitcher, meaning there could be plenty more innings in that in 6-foot-5, 225-pound frame. But can Samardzija still run like a receiver? Giants FROM PAGE 1 line, sinking a pair of foul shots with 13.4 seconds left to give the Warriors a three-point lead — his only points of the second over- time. Jae Crowder missed a 3-pointer to tie it, and An- dre Iguodala got the re- bound and drew the foul. That sent the Boston fans to the exits, but the Golden State crowd remained to see Iguodala sink both free throws and keep the win- ning streak alive. The Warriors play the Milwaukee Bucks on Sat- urday night to complete a seven-game road trip. No NBA team has ever gone 7-0 on a single road trip. Kelly Olynyk scored 28 points for Boston, and Av- ery Bradley had 19 while guarding Curry much of the night. Isaiah Thomas had 18 points and 10 as- sists, and Jared Sullinger had 13 rebounds for Bos- ton, which had won two in a row and six of its previ- ous eight games. Draymond Green scored 24 points with 11 rebounds, eight assists and five blocked shots. Iguodala scored 13 with 10 boards and Festus Ezeli had 12 and 12 for Golden State, which was playing with- out injured Klay Thomp- son and Harrison Barnes. Thegamebroughtaplay- off atmosphere and a sold- out crowd to the new Bos- ton Garden, but this time the loyalties were more di- vided than usual. Although the Celtics' green still dom- inated, there was plenty of Golden State blue as well. Fans crowded around the Golden State end of the court during warmups to watch the defending NBA champions and their star. During introductions, the Celtics rooters struggled to drown out the cheers for Curry.
