Week 6 Heisman Watch

With Week 6 of the 2015-2016 college football season in the books, we can now look at the updated Heisman race. We have four players from last week dropping off: Jared Goff (who lost to Utah), Cody Kessler (who lost to Washington), Baker Mayfield (who lost to Texas), and Nick Chubb (who suffered a devastating injury on Saturday). Let's get started.

10. Devontae Booker, Utah (Last Week: NR)- Booker makes his debut onto our Heisman watch after running for 222 yards and two touchdowns against #23 Cal. Furthermore, Utah is undefeated and ranked #4.

9. C.J. Prosise, Notre Dame (Last Week: NR)- Prosise gets back on to the Heisman list after dropping out last week. His great performance against Navy, which included three rushing touchdowns, reignites his Heisman campaign.

8. Dalvin Cook, Florida State (Last Week: NR)- Like Prosise, Cook was on this list a few weeks ago before dropping off. He had three total touchdowns and 222 rushing yards for the Seminoles in their win over Miami (Fl).

7. Myles Garrett, Texas A&M (Last Week: NR)- Garrett may be a defensive player, but he has put together a convincing Heisman campaign thus far. In his last game (which was against Mississippi State on October 3rd), the DE had seven tackles and a sack.

6. Seth Russell, Baylor (Last Week: 9)- Russell jumps up the list, thanks to both his performance against Kansas and other players faltering. He only played for two quarters, but he still went 18 for 27 with four total scores.

5. Derrick Henry, Alabama (Last Week: 7)- The junior RB set a school record will 11 straight games with a rushing touchdown. He ran for 95 yards and one score in 'Bama's 27-14 win over Arkansas on Saturday.

4. Deshaun Watson, Clemson (Last Week: 4)- Watson stays at the #4 spot after leading Clemson to a 43-24 victory over Georgia Tech. He went 21-30 and threw for 265 yards and two scores. He also ran for 16 yards.

3. Ezekiel Elliot, Ohio State (Last Week: 6)- Elliot gets a big boost after Chubb's injury. It also doesn't hurt that he ran for 106 yards and two scores in OSU's 49-28 win over Maryland. Furthermore, the Buckeyes are still #1 in the country.

2. Trevone Boykin, TCU (Last Week: 1)- After spending the entire season on top of the Heisman watch, Boykin finally slips down. This is through no fault of his own however, as he threw for 330 yards and had four scores.

1. Leonard Fournette, LSU (Last Week: 2)- Through the first six weeks of the college football season, no player has been more outstanding than Leonard Fournette. In Week 6 against South Carolina, Fournette ran for 158 yards and one score.

Thanks for reading everyone.
