Heisman - Week 3


1) Chase Daniel (previously #1) – QB Missouri (Season: 973 YDS, 10 TD, 1 INT, 58 rush yds)
405 yds and 4 TD vs. Nevada has my Heisman favorite rolling. As long as Missouri keeps winning, Daniel will probably be the top man on this list.
Next: vs. Buffalo

2) Mark Sanchez (2) – QB USC (Season: 510 YDS | 7 TD 2 INT)
Sanchez led his Trojans to an annihilation of (an) Ohio State University last week with 172 yds and 4 TD. The best offensive player on now unquestionably the best team in the country.
Next: at Oregon St.

3) Sam Bradford (4) – QB Oklahoma (Season: 882 YDS | 12 TD, 2 INT, 1 rush TD)
With 304 yds and 6 TD (one rushing) at Washington, Bradford is making a strong push for the top spot on this list. I’m waiting for him to be tested to move him past the top two, so look out in two weeks when the Sooners play Texas.
Next: vs. TCU

4) Tim Tebow (3) – QB Florida (Season: 393 yds, 3 TD, 92 rush yds)
Off last week, Tebow drops a spot heading into a showdown with SEC rival Tennessee.
Next: at Tennessee

5) Graham Harrell (HM) – QB Texas Tech (Season: 1,251 yds, 8 TD, 3 INT, 1 rush TD)
418 yds and 5 TD against SMU jumps Harrell back into the top 5. Cupcake schedule ends after Massachusetts this week.
Next: Massachusetts

Honorable Mention:
Max Hall (Unranked) – QB BYU (Season: 1,095 yds, 12 TD, 2 INT, 1 rush TD)
Led 59-0 shellacking of UCLA with 7 TD. IF BYU stays undefeated, Hall could make his way into the Heisman picture.
Next: vs. Wyoming

Jeremy Maclin (Honorable Mention) – WR Missouri (Season: 223 yds, 4 rec TD, 1 return TD)
The explosiveness Maclin showed with 6 catches for 172 yds and 3 TD against Nevada is what we should be expecting the rest of the year from the nation’s best receiver.
Next: vs. Buffalo

Knowshon Moreno (HM) – RB Georgia (Season: 306 YDS | 7 TD |, 96 rec yds)
Struggled against South Carolina with 79 yds and 1 TD, but Moreno is the most talented running back in the country.
Next: at Arizona St.

P.J. Hill (HM) – RB Wisconsin (Season: 379 yds, 4 TD).
112 yds in Wisconsin’s win over Fresno St. Tough stretch ahead for Hill: at Michigan, Ohio St., Penn St.
Next: at Michigan

Matthew Stafford (5, pictured above) – QB Georgia (Season: 634 yds, 4 TD)
Poor game against South Carolina with 146 yds, no TDs and sacked four times.
Next at Arizona St.

Dropped out:
Chris Wells (HM) – RB Ohio St (Season: 111 yds, 1 TD, 10 rec yds)
If you don’t play, you don’t deserve to be on this list.
Next: vs. Troy
