Heisman Watch

The Heisman race is starting to gain a little more clarity after week 3. That being said, it is still extremely difficult to pick the top performers after only 2 or 3 games.

As you might have noticed, there has been a great degree of variance from week to week in my Heisman watch.

Here is this week's edition.


1. Sam Bradford - Oklahoma QB

Week 3 vs. Washington
18-21 304 yards 5 tds

Season Totals
64-81 882 yards 12 tds 2 ints


Once again, Bradford put in another brilliant performance. This guy is one of the more efficient passers in the nation. I believe he is already better than Jason White and Josh Heupel, 2 of Bob Stoops' most accomplished QB's. The Big XII is a conference of quarterbacks, and Sam Bradford is the best of them.



2. Chase Daniel - Missouri QB

Week 3 vs. Nevada
23-38 405 yards 4 tds

Season Totals
65-100 973 yards 10 tds 1 int


Bradford might be the best QB in the Big XII, but Chase Daniel is very close behind him. Daniel put up some monstrous numbers against a very solid Nevada team. Daniel seems to be a shoe-in to make it back-to-back trips to New York City this season. Daniel to Maclin is fast becoming the most dangerous duo in the nation.



3. Tim Tebow - Florida QB

Week 3 Bye

Season Totals
Passing- 30-49 393 yards 3 tds
Rushing- 22 92 yards

Nothing new for Tebow as his Florida Gators had a bye week. Tennessee is coming up next for Florida. That's really good news for Tebow. He always seems to kick it up a notch for the Vols.




4. Javon Ringer - Michigan St. RB

Week 3 vs. Florida Atlantic
43 282 yards 2 tds

Season Totals
104 498 yards 9 tds


Ringer is a new addition to my top 5. His monster performance earned him Big Eleven offensive player of the week honors. Ringer is the truest definition of a workhorse. Michigan St. will look to ride him to a possible Big Eleven championship.



5. Knowshon Moreno - Georgia RB

Week 3 vs. South Carolina
20 79 yards 1 tds

Season Totals
46 306 yards 7 tds


Moreno didn't put up staggering numbers this week. However, he did score a touchdown against a very tough Gamecock defense. Moreno is still the most exciting back in the country. For that, he remains in my top 5. Imagine the numbers he would be able to put up if Stafford stopped chucking kegs long enough to throw a decent pass.



The Next Five

1. Colt McCoy Texas QB
2. Graham Harrell Texas Tech QB
3. Jeremy Maclin Missouri WR
4. Chase Clement Rice QB
5. Mark Sanchez USC QB
