![]() It’s one of the things I find most exciting about college football and sports in general. If he can dominate Penn State this weekend, he could move up to the top spot.ĭuggan has the “out of nowhere” factor going for him. Corum has been the engine for Michigan’s offense, and he’s got 11 touchdowns on the ground this season. He’s not going to face many challenges until the Michigan game at the end of the season, which could ultimately be his “Heisman moment.” The numbers are too good to keep him out of the top spot. Stroud has been on fire this season, leading the country in passing touchdowns. Mississippi State quarterback Will Rogers is also worth keeping an eye on given the upcoming stretch the Bulldogs have. There are some obvious names missing from my “ballot,” with Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker and UCLA’s Dorian Thompson-Robinson also in the mix. And Williams, of course, has kept USC undefeated and done exactly what he was brought to LA to do - dominate the Pac-12, score 17 touchdowns with minimal turnovers, and pull the Trojans out of sticky situations. I think there’s still some general doubt around Michigan’s legitimacy, as they haven’t played anyone particularly good yet, but if Corum can keep his numbers up as the Wolverines go further into Big Ten territory, he should be a serious candidate. This weekend against Alabama will be his biggest test yet.Ĭorum has blown me away this season with his production and ability to escape impossible defensive situations. The unquestioned leader of the Vols’ comeback, he’s added 10 touchdowns in the air and three on the ground without turning the ball over. Hooker built the hype and the foundation for this season last year, and he has not disappointed. But up to the halfway point, these three have impressed the most on a national stage. It’s still early in the season, and all three of the teams that these candidates play on have yet to face their toughest rivals of the year. And that hasn’t stopped him, as evidenced by a ridiculous 11 QB pressures by himself against Texas A&M last Saturday. He has only five sacks this season and that’s been mostly a result of opposing offenses throwing everything and the kitchen sink at him. The Crimson Tide pass rusher is still really dominant and should be the No. Of course, I have to throw Caleb Williams into the mix because he’s lived up to the hype in his first year in Los Angeles so far. I’ll still have him near the top of my list regardless of what happens against Alabama this weekend, but his stock is going to go through the roof if he ends up being the Volunteer QB that finally vanquishes the Tide. On top of that, he’s clearly the straw that stirs the drink in Knoxville, Tenn., and the Heisman Trophy is more fun when a dark horse candidate is elevating his team to heights that few saw coming. He’s completed exactly 70% of his passes, hasn’t turned the ball over and has proven himself to be an effective running threat when need be. Midway through the season, I have Hendon Hooker at the top of my board. Will Anderson Jr., Outside Linebacker, Alabama.But again this is really close, and I think this list will change week-to-week for now. He’s got a better defense than DTR helping, but his O-line isn’t as strong as Hooker’s, and his weighted overall efficiency is just ahead. But to me, the signal callers of these three undefeated teams are the reason why the teams are where they are, and some veteran presence has been a big reason their teams have moved the ball with efficiency.īut give me Williams over the others because he’s just made fewer mistakes so far, and has won the best game of the three on the road (at Oregon State). These guys are very close for me, and I hate voting for three quarterbacks (I did have Matt Araiza third last year before. Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Quarterback, UCLA.* None of us actually has a vote, but Heisman Trust, we’re ready when you are!
