Heisman Update

Week 3 was tough on a few of the pre-season favorites. Both Jake Locker (4 for 20 passing) and Case Keenum (torn ACL) are now out of the picture. And there are some new faces to replace them. Here is how CFB Kings sees the Heisman race heading into the 4th Weekend:

1. Denard Robinson, QB, Michigan - The frontrunner kept his torrid pace with a 241 yard passing and 104 yards rushing performance.

2. Terrelle Pryor, QB, Ohio St. - 235 yards passing and 2 TDs (also 1 rush TD) in light work against Ohio.

3. Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas - Threw a game-winning TD in the final minute to cap an impressive 380 yard day. His true test comes this week against Alabama.

4. Taylor Martinez, QB, Nebraska - 1 of 2 QBs trying their best to keep up with Robinson. Martinez had 3 rushing TDs at Washington.

10. Demarco Murray, RB, Oklahoma - He continues to pile up yards and TDs. 148 total yards and 3 TDs against a stingy Air Force defense.

11. Kellen Moore, QB, Boise St - Had a typical big night against Wyoming. Needs a big performance in primetime this Saturday night against Oregon State.
