It's been a crazy few days for me, but this week should be the last time this season I post a Heisman watch late. Thanks for sticking with me, here's get started.
We say goodbye to Trace McSorley Jr. after Penn State was upset by Michigan State. On the plus side of things, we tip our hat to Laviska Shenault Jr. and Darrell Henderson. Though they both lost in Week 7, they put up impressive numbers.
10. Travis Etienne, Clemson (Last Week: NR)- Etienne was an honorable mention last week and makes his way on to our list after the colossal shakeup that was Week 8.
9. Ian Book, Notre Dame (Last Week: 9)- Book didn't have the best game against Pittsburgh but at least Notre Dame won. Book finished with two touchdowns and two picks while going 26 for 32. Thanks to the brilliant QB play of guys like Will Grier and Dwayne Haskins, Book is very much a fringe contender at this point.
8. Benny Snell Jr., Kentucky (Last Week: 8)- Snell sits tight at #8 after Kentucky had the week off.
7. Jake Fromm, Georgia (Last Week: 5)- The best argument for Fromm's Heisman campaign was that Georgia was unbeaten and a national title contender. Unfortunately, thanks to their 20-point loss against LSU, that is no longer the case and Fromm is a long way away from the Heisman mountaintop.
6. McKenzie Milton, UCF (Last Week: 7)- UCF narrowly beat Memphis 31-30 to keep their playoff dreams alive. Milton played well (17 of 29 for one touchdown with 296 passing yards) but was not outstanding. He needs to stay undefeated in order to have a real shot at making it to New York.
5. Kyler Murray, Oklahoma (Last Week: 6)- Thanks to all of the chaos at the top, Murray moves up one spot even though he didn't play in Week 7.
4. Will Grier, West Virginia (Last Week: 3)- It feels like every few seasons the Iowa State Cyclones rise up and knock off a national title contender. This year, they shocked unbeaten West Virginia and put a serious dent in Grier's Heisman campaign. Grier threw for only 100 yards and posted an abysmal QBR of 16.6.
3. Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin (Last Week: 4)- Wisconsin may have lost to Michigan and seen their national title dreams go up in smoke, but Taylor ran for 101 yards and 17 carries and still finds himself in the thick of the Heisman conversation.
2. Dwayne Haskins, Ohio State (Last Week: 2)- Haskins had another great game against Minnesota to pad his resume. He completed 75% of his stats for 412 yards and three scores.
1. Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama (Last Week: 1)- At this point in the race, everyone else is fighting for #2, Tua has the #1 spot on lock. In the win against Missouri, Tua threw for 265 yards and three scores as 'Bama won by four possessions.
