Since Illinois is relevant in college football again, I’ve started to pay more attention to the national picture a little more. So I thought I would do a weekly Heisman race post. After one week, here are the candidates:
1) Chase Daniel – QB Missouri (last week 323 yds, 3 TD, 47 rush yds)
In for a big year with an explosive offense. If Missouri is in a BCS game, Daniel will be in the Heisman race all year
Next: SE Missouri St.
2) Mark Sanchez – QB USC (last week 338 yds, 3 TD 1 INT)
The new USC quarterback has all the offensive weapons around him. The quarterback on the #1 team in the country always deserves Heisman attention.
Next: Ohio St.
3) Tim Tebow – QB Florida (last week 137 yds, 1 TD, 37 rush yds)
Trying to win the award back to back years. It will be tough to beat last season’s numbers, but nothing would surprise me with Tebow.
Next: Miami (FL)
4) Pat White – QB Western Virginia (last week 208 yds, 5 TD, 1 INT, 63 rush yds)
Multi threat quarterback that leads the Big East favorite
Next: East Carolina
5) Graham Harrell – QB Texas Tech (last week 536 yds, 2 TD, 1 INT)
Expect big-time numbers from Harrell all year. It probably wont be enough to win the award unless he re-writes the college football record books.
Honorable Mention:
Chris Wells – RB Ohio St (last week 111 yds, 1 TD, 10 rec yds). Will he be healthy for USC?
Jeremy Maclin – WR Missouri (last week 4 rec, 31 yds, 99 yd return TD). Freak athlete who I hope to never see again against Illinois.
P.J. Hill – RB Wisconsin (last week 210 yds, 2 TD). Workhorse for Wisconsin who wants to break Ron Dayne’s all time rushing record
Matthew Stafford – QB Georgia (last week 275 yds, 2 TD). Favorite to be the number 1 pick in this year’s draft leads arguably the top team in the country.
Juice Williams – QB Illinois (last week 451 yds, 5 TD, 2 INT). Why not? The Juice is loose.

the girl in that pic could win a heisman in super fake boobs. also throwin juice up for honorable heisman... drinking way too much orange koolaid. but otherwise great selections.
Greg the man threw for 450 yards and 5 TDs. All against the #6 team in the country on a neutral field without his #2 wide receiver and without his #3 wide receiver for the first half.
If the season ended today, which is how I made my selections, Juice is definitely in the top 10. If Illinois had won, he'd be in the top five for sure. Do I expect him to be on this list the whole year? Absolutely not, but it's fun to entertain the idea of it.
