Five players who still have a chance for the Heisman

If he duplicates that efficiency down the stretch, together with within the SEC Championship, Milroe might earn a visit to New York.

Georgia quarterback Carson Beck: Beck’s numbers rival these of main candidates Penix Jr. and Nix in key areas. His 72.2 % completion proportion bests Penix Jr.’s (69.4%), and he averages barely extra yards per try (9.2) than Nix (9). 

Bulldogs tight finish Brock Bowers was a darkhorse contender earlier than an ankle damage put a hitch in his marketing campaign. Bowers simply began operating once more final Friday, so it could be a stretch to count on him to go well with up eight days later in Saturday’s sport towards No. 9 Ole Miss. 

Beck’s been wonderful in two begins with out Bowers, going 40-of-60 for 569 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Oklahoma State operating again Ollie Gordon II: This is a have a look at Gordon’s stats in comparison with Mark Ingram and Derrick Henry, the previous two operating backs to win the Heisman, via 9 video games:

He is been on a tear with six consecutive 100-yard video games, together with 138 yards and two touchdowns final Saturday towards Oklahoma. The Cowboys have a good schedule with three video games towards Huge 12 newcomers UCF, Houston and BYU, who’re a mixed 5-13 in convention play, earlier than a possible look within the Huge 12 championship sport.

Penn State quarterback Drew Allar: Allar might grow to be a nationwide hero on Saturday if he knocks Michigan out of the playoff race. Loads of folks outdoors of Ann Arbor are in search of any excuse to get the Wolverines out of the playoff. 

If exposing their sign-stealing scheme does not do the trick, a loss to the Nittany Lions would in all probability seal the deal. 

For that to occur, Allar has to play a lot better than he did towards the Buckeyes in Week 8. He accomplished a season-low 42.9% of his makes an attempt in a 20-12 loss. For the season, he’s 181-of-288 (62.8%) for 1,895 yards, 20 touchdowns and one interception. 

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers: An AC joint sprain put a dent in Ewers’ probabilities of contending for the Heisman, but when he can return and propel the Longhorns to a Huge 12 championship, it is perhaps sufficient for him to sneak in as a finalist. 

Head coach Steve Sarkisian announced the sophomore quarterback is “day-to-day” and commenced throwing on Monday. The Longhorns play on the highway towards TCU in Week 11.
