We have reached the mid point of the season and now time to turn it up a notch for most teams as they head into the 'meat' of the schedule. As crazy as this football season is and how no one is safe in the Top 25, who are you thinking will win the Heisman this year?
ESPN has it nicely laid out here.
I think it is Matt Ryan's to win.
If he and the BC crew can win the ACC and BC remain in the Top 5 then the trophy is his. I say this b/c McFad got shut down against Auburn on national TV (Auburn held the junior to 17 yards on 43 carries. McFadden added 5 yards on one catch and 29 yards on one return.) Not to mention his team is not helping his chances - The loss to the Tigers drops the Razorbacks to 0-3 in the SEC.
Tebow is too young but he will win a Heisman before he leaves UF, just not this year.
Hart at UM is still overshadowed by the App State loss and not to mention a recent ankle injury hurt want was a great performance this past weekend.
Then there is the guy out west - DeSean Jackson- right, you are saying "who"....well he is flashy and can play ball but Cal just does not have the national exposure to make him a contender. Not to mention he was held to four catches for 5 yards and one rush for 8 yards this past weekend.
My dark horse is Colt Brennan, just b/c he puts up insane passing numbers and if UH goes undefeated then it could be a "feel good story" to give him the Heisman since the team even if 12-0 will not get a BCS bid.
So who are you placing bets on to win the Heisman this year?
Below is the 5 leading candidates, according to most everyone so far this season.
1. DeSean Jackson, Cal
2. Darren McFadden, Arkansas
3. Colt Brennan, Hawaii
4. Matt Ryan, Boston College
5. Mike Hart, Michigan
