So yes, Week 10 has already started, but I'm dropping this on Friday night, so technically we're good to go. We had one player drop out this week: Clemson's Travis Etienne, who ran for only 45 yards and zero scores against Florida State.
Since we have a little time, let's highlight our three honorable mentions. First off is Oklahoma State's Tylan Wallace. He may not be well known but he is fifth in the nation with 940 receiving yards. Next up is another fellow WR in David Sills V. The former QB phenom has been on our honorable mention list multiple times but has yet to crack the top 10. Finally, let's give some love to D'Eriq King. Teammate Ed Oliver may have gotten all the Heisman hype at the beginning but King is beginning to build a lot of momentum. Houston is ranked at 17 and King leads all QBs in rushing touchdowns.
10. Gardner Minshew, Washington State (Last Week: NR)- Minshew takes Etienne's spot after leading the Cougars to an upset win over the Stanford Cardinals. Minshew completed 80% of his passes and threw three scores and zero picks. With this win, Washington State is now looking like a real threat to win the Pac-12.
9. McKenzie Milton, UCF (Last Week: 8)- Milton and Central Florida had a bye in Week 9.
8. Ian Book, Notre Dame (Last Week: 9)- Notre Dame pretty much had their way against Navy and this allowed Book to put up some nice stats. He finished with 330 yards and two passing touchdowns to complement his 50 rushing yards. Book continues to be the hidden man among the Heisman candidates but with performances like these, he'll be on the national radar soon.
7. Benny Snell Jr., Kentucky (Last Week: 6)- It was not a good week for running backs in the Heisman conversation. Snell only ran for 67 carries on 19 yards with zero scores. He'll need a big game against UGA in Week 10 to have a chance at the top 5.
6. Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin (Last Week: 3)- Taylor dropped three sons after an uninspiring performance in Week 9 against Northwestern. Not only did Wisconsin lose, Taylor only ran for 46 yards and was outgained by teammate Garrett Groshek.
5. Jake Fromm, Georgia (Last Week: 7)- Fromm moves back into the top five after Georgia stomped all over #9 Florida. Fromm went 17 of 24 for 240 yards and three scores. Now, the Bulldogs take on Kentucky in a big SEC East matchup. This game could very well determine who eventually wins the division.
4. Dwayne Haskins, Ohio State (Last Week: 5)- Haskins didn't play in Week 9 but moves up a spot thanks to Taylor's fall.
3. Will Grier, West Virginia (Last Week: 4)- Grier had a nice bounceback against Baylor following the loss to Iowa State. He threw for 353 yards and three touchdowns to keep West Virginia in the Big 12 title hunt.
2. Kyler Murray, Oklahoma (Last Week: 2)- Speaking of the Big 12 title hunt, Oklahoma might be the favorite there thanks to Oklahoma State upsetting Texas. If Oklahoma does win the conference, Murray is pretty much a lock to make it to New York City. In Week 9, Murray totaled nearly 400 yards of offense to go along with his four scores.
1. Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama (Last Week: 1)- A week off does nothing to hamper Tua's Heisman campaign.
Thanks for reading everyone.
