Week 11 Heisman Watch

After last week's major shake-up in the Heisman watch, a lot of fans were expecting more stability this week. That pretty much happened, as we have no new superstars on the list. We are now at the point of the season where it is virtually guaranteed that one of the ten men listen below will walk away with the Heisman (unless our sole watch-list player, Houston's Greg Ward Jr., catches fire). Let's get started.

10. Trevone Boykin, TCU (Last Week: 7)- Boykin never got a chance to get going on Saturday, as he suffered an ankle injury early into the game. Reports indicate that he will be able to play next week, however.

9. DeShone Kizer, Notre Dame (Last Week: 10)-  Kizer didn't have eye-popping stats against Wake Forest, but he didn't need to, as the Irish dominated the game from start to finish. Kizer finished by going 13-19 for 111 yards and two rushing touchdowns.

8. Corey Coleman, Baylor (Last Week: 5)- Coleman was pretty much shut down against Oklahoma. The star receiver had only three catches for 51 yards and no scores. He's going to need a big game against Oklahoma State next week if he wants to stay in the Heisman race.

7. Dalvin Cook, Florida State (Last Week: 8)- #16 FSU defeated NC State, and Cook was a big reason why. He ran for 138 yards and two scores while also picking up 17 receiving yards. He should have a big game against Chattanooga next week.

6. Leonard Fournette, LSU (Last Week: 3)- After his disappointing performance against Alabama last week, Fournette needed a big game in order to keep his Heisman dreams alive. Unfortunately for him, he only managed 91 yards and one score.

5. Christian McCaffrey, Stanford (Last Week: 6)- Stanford lost to Oregon and got their playoff hopes dashed. Nonetheless, McCaffrey had a big game, as he had more than 200 total yards and one rushing score.

4. Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma (Last Week: 9)- The Sooners handed Baylor its first loss of the season. Mayfield threw for 270 yards and three scores while also rushing for 76 yards and another touchdown.

3. Ezekiel Elliot, Ohio State (Last Week: 4)- There has perhaps been no player more consistent this season then Elliot, who has rushed for at least a 100 yards in every game. Against Illinois, he ran for 181 yards and two scores.

2. Derrick Henry, Alabama (Last Week: 2)- Honestly, you could switch around #s 1 and 2, but Henry has to be content with the #2 spot for now. He ran for 204 yards and two scores against Mississippi State.

1. Deshaun Watson, Clemson (Last Week: 1)- #1 Clemson beat Syracuse 37-27 to stay undefeated. Watson went 34 for 37 for 360 yards and two scores to lead Clemson to victory. He also ran for 105 yards and a score.

Thanks for reading everyone, and be sure to check back next week for an updated Heisman watch.
