Heisman Race

1. Saquan Barkley - Had a quiet half but ended the game with 2 touchdowns 75 yards rushing.  Starting to be a out shined by QB Trace Mcsorley who is having a tremendous year.
2. Luke Falk - Continues to lead the Cougars to the promise land remaining undefeated.  Has passed for 19tds and only 2 int's.  He is 8 td passes away from breaking the Pac 12 record
3. JT Barrett - Has been consistently leading the Buckeyes back to glory.  Has ran for 322 yards and thrown for over 1,500 yards 16tds and only 1int
4. Bryce Love - The nation's leading rusher with 1,240 yards has a very impressive showing so far.  He keeps up this pace, he may be the Heisman winner
5. Rashaad Penny - Has led his undefeated Aztecs this season with 12 total td's.  Dangerous with the ball in his hands

There are no games that have teams in the top 25 face each other.  An upset is always bound to happen, but when and who will be upset.  This may be the first time in history that 2 Florida teams are in the top 25 and it's neither the Gators or Seminoles.  Game of the week is the Auburn vs LSU game.  Miami Georgia Tech and the 'Cotton Bowl' Oklahoma vs Texas is always interesting.

Heisman Race

     1.  Saquan Barkley - Have heard comparisons to Barry Sanders and Adrian Peterson about Saquan.  He is a game changer  when he touches the ball and a clear cut Heisman if the award was given today.  Had KOR for touchdown and also threw for a td as well

2. Baker Mayfield - Was on BYE last week.  Need a strong performance to stay in this race

3. Jalen Hurts - Continues to lead the Tide but not being mentioned in some Heisman races.  His dual threat ability leaves teams searching for ways to stop him.  Threw 2 touchdowns and ran for 100yards and 1 td against Ole Miss.  He didn't play entire game by the way.

4.  Luke Falk - played an impressive game against USC threw for 340 yards and 2 td's becoming tied for 2nd in Pac 12 to throw the most tds in his career with 105

5.  Rashaad Penny - Lead his 5-0 SDSU team against NIU with a season low 107 yards.  2nd in the nation in rushing with 823 yards
