Heisman Watch Week 9

We're getting there folks. Let's get started.

10. CeeDee Lamb, Oklahoma (Last Week: 10)- I really wanted to put Chase Young here, but I couldn't ignore Lamb's five catches for 135 yards and a touchdown. Yes, it was in a huge loss to Kansas State, but Lamb still played well.

9. Justin Herbert, Oregon (Last Week: 9)- Herbert and the Oregon Ducks got a big conference win against Washington State, keeping their College Football Playoff hopes alive. In that game, Herbert engineered a game-winning drive while throwing for 222 yards.

8. Chuba Hubbard, Oklahoma State (Last Week: 8)- Hubbard continues to fly under-the-radar, but his great work should not go unnoticed. His performance against Iowa State in Week 9 was another impressive one, as he ran for 116 yards and one touchdown.

7. Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin (Last Week: 4)- Taylor drops three spots after the entire Wisconsin offense was shut down by the fearsome OSU defense. His 20 rushing attempts netted only 52 yards (giving him a 2.6 yard per carry average) and zero scores. If Taylor wants to make it back into the top five, he'll need some big performances in November.

6. Trevor Lawrence, Clemson (Last Week: 6)- Lawrence had a sneakily great performance in Week 9 against Boston College. He only threw 19 passes, but he completed 16 of them for 275 yards and three touchdowns.

5. J.K. Dobbins, Ohio State (Last Week: 7)- Finally, after weeks on the outside Dobbins finally crosses into the top five. After Ohio State's big win against Wisconsin, Dobbins is second in the nation in both rushing yards and YPC.

4. Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama (Last Week: 3)- In a scenario eerily similar to last year, Tua finds himself dropping in the Heisman watch after an injury. In this case, Tua sat on the sidelines and watched his team dismantle Arkansas.

3. Justin Fields, Ohio State (Last Week: 5)- Fields was actually outperformed by a couple of his teammates in Week 9 (sorry again Chase Young), but

2. Jalen Hurts, Oklahoma (Last Week: 2)- After weeks of being atop our Heisman watch, Hurts drops a spot after Oklahoma's shocking loss at the hands of Kansas State. Not only did the upset hurt Hurts's Heisman chances, but it put a serious dent in Oklahoma's playoff chances. Still, Hurts played well in the game as he completed 73.1% of his passes and ran for three touchdowns. Fortunately for Hurts, his resume is still very impressive and probably enough to get him to New York.

1. Joe Burrow, LSU (Last Week: 2)- LSU fans rejoice, as Joe Burrow is the new Heisman frontrunner. In a monumental game against #9 Auburn (which boasts arguably the nation's best defense), Burrow threw for 321 yards as LSU won 23-20. It wasn't one of Burrow's more spectacular games, but a win is a win.
