Heisman Watch Week 14

I can't believe we've finally caught up. It's been a long few weeks, and I appreciate everyone's patience. Let's get started.

9. Travis Etienne, Clemson (Last Week: 8)- Etienne has pretty much zero chance of getting invited to New York, but he deserves credit for his great season. In Week 14,

8. Chuba Hubbard, Oklahoma State (Last Week: 7)- Hubbard had an impressive performance against Oklahoma on Saturday. On 24 carries, Hubbard ran for 104 yards and one score, though the Cowboys did fall to their in-state rivals.

7. Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin (Last Week: 6)- Taylor has a big opportunity against Ohio State on Saturday. If he delivers a standout performance (and Wisconsin at least makes it a competitive game), then he has a chance of becoming a Heisman finalist.

6. Chase Young, Ohio State (Last Week: NR)- There has been no football player more dominant this year than Chase Young. Despite missing multiple games due to suspension, Young leads the nation with 16.5 sacks.

5. Trevor Lawrence, Clemson (Last Week: 5)- Clemson blew out in-state rival South Carolina in advance of their ACC Championship game against Virginia. Lawrence, who at one point completed 18 straight passes, threw three touchdown passes and ran for 66 yards.

4. Justin Fields, Ohio State (Last Week: 4)- To be completely honest, I thought J.K. Dobbins outplayed his teammate against Michigan. That's not to say Fields played badly (he threw four touchdowns), but Dobbins just felt more essential to OSU's win.

3. J.K. Dobbins, Ohio State (Last Week: 3)- Maybe I'm a little too high on Dobbins, but he really feels like a Heisman finalist at this point. He's fourth in the nation in rushing yards and fifth in touchdowns. 

2. Jalen Hurts, Oklahoma (Last Week: 2)- The early season favorite, Hurts feels like a lock to be a Heisman finalist. He's had a tremendous season, which includes throwing for 3,184 yards and rushing for 1,156.

1. Joe Burrow, LSU (Last Week: 1)- Even if LSU loses to Georgia, it's hard to imagine Burrow not winning the Heisman this year. That speaks to just how dominant the former Buckeye has been this year.
