Heisman Watch Week 7

Week 7 was a pretty solid week for all of our Heisman contenders. There were a few slip-ups here and there, but nothing too egregious. That's why everyone who is in our Heisman list last week is still on there this week. Let's get started.

10. Trevor Knight, Texas A&M (Last Week: 9)- Knight's had a pretty good season thus far, but it will all be for naught if he doesn't do well against Alabama in Week 8. A good game and a win against the Tide will launch Knight up our Heisman list.

9. Donnel Pumphrey. San Diego State (Last Week: 10)- Pumphrey's Heisman chances took a plunge when San Diego State fell off the rankings, but it's hard to ignore Pumphrey's stats. Against Fresno State he ran for 220 yards and two scores. It was however, the first time all year he didn't record a reception.

8. Dalvin Cook, Florida State (Last Week: 8)- Cook failed to find the end zone against Wake Forest, but he still did record 115 rushing yards. He's one of the best running backs in the country and needs to prove that in order to keep his Heisman campaign alive.

7. Greg Ward Jr., Houston (Last Week: 6)- Like Cook, Ward failed to find the end zone (he played against Tulsa) but he still racked up some impressive yardage: 254 passing yards and 142 rushing yards.

6. Seth Russell, Baylor (Last Week: 7)- Russell quietly has put up a fantastic season thus far. Against Kansas he accounted for four total touchdowns as the Bears won by 42. Russell has thus far been overshadowed by players like Deshaun Watson and J.T. Barrett.

5. Jake Browning, Washington (Last Week: 5)- Browning was on a bye this week, but he stays steady at the #5 spot.

4. Jabrill Peppers, Michigan (Last Week: 4)- Like Browning, Peppers stays put after a bye week. The #3 Wolverines take on Illinois next week.

3. J.T. Barrett, Ohio State (Last Week: 3)- The Buckeyes were pushed to the brink by Wisconsin, but they ended up pulling out the win in Wisconsin. Barrett threw for a touchdown and added two more on the ground.

2. Deshaun Watson, Clemson (Last Week: 2)- Watson and the Clemson Tigers were pushed to the limit by NC State. Watson accounted for all three of Clemson's touchdowns in this game two through the air and one rushing.

1. Lamar Jackson, Louisville (Last Week: 1)- Louisville struggled against Duke, but Jackson still played quite well. He accounted for more than 300 total yards and two scores as the Cards won 24-14.
