ATLANTA -- One would think Quinnen Williams believes teammate Tua Tagovailoa will win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday, right? Unlike Jonah Williams and Jerry Jeudy, however, Williams said he didn’t know who he thought would take home college football’s most coveted award.

Along with being indecisive, he’s also a little bitter.

Alabama’s breakout star on defense was hoping to receive an invitation to New York City.

“I feel like I should have been up there, but it’s cool,” Williams said with a smile. “It’s fun, man. I look up to Ndamukong Suh, and I remember Ndamukong Suh went to the Heisman, so I was like ‘Man, that’s cold. It would be cool to go to the Heisman like Ndamukong Suh.’”

Williams is a finalist for two awards that will be given out at the Home Depot College Football Awards on Thursday. He was at the College Football Hall of Fame with the other Williams and Jeudy to preview his chances for the Chuck Bednarik Award and Outland Trophy.

In 2009, Suh finished fourth in the Heisman voting with 815 points. Mark Ingram, the Crimson Tide’s first-ever winner, earned 1,304. Right now, Williams is the only defensive player listed on ESPN’s Heisman Watch and is tied with Clemson’s Travis Etienne for eighth place. But Kyler Murray of Oklahoma leads the poll with 46 points with Tagovailoa behind him with 44 points.

“It’s too much of a quarterback award,” Williams said. “It’s too much of an award, like the Heisman only goes to a person who touches the ball. Like if I get a whole bunch of sacks, I’m not getting the Heisman. I feel like that whoever touches the ball the most is the Heisman winner, and I feel like that’s not really fair, for real.

“You’ve got offensive linemen who should win the Heisman, you’ve got tight ends who should win the Heisman, D-linemen, defensive backs who should win the Heisman. It’s definitely a quarterback-dominant award.”

After all that, Williams said he will be happy “just to get a vote.” And while he doesn’t know who he thinks will win the Heisman, he has already familiarized himself with Murray, who Alabama will face in the Capital One Orange Bowl semifinal on Dec. 29 in Miami Gardens, Fla.

“The first thing I thought of was catching Kyler Murray,” Williams said. “That’s the first thing that Kyler Murray’s fast, man. You can see it in games, he’s fast. But their overall offense is powerful, man. They’ve got dynamic receivers, dynamic O-line, dynamic quarterback, dynamic quarterbacks, so it’s going to be a great challenge going against those guys and just trying to close in the pocket to contain to Kyler Murray is going to be a big thing. I can’t wait to play.”
