Current Heisman Picture

Here is CFB Kings current Heisman picture.

1. Cam Newton, QB, Auburn - Newton sits alone atop our charts. The QB of the undefeated Auburn Tigers has been a 1-man wrecking crew of late. He has a ridiculous 27 total TDs already this season and he has rushed for 1,077 yards (including 603 in the past 3 games).

2. Lamichael James, RB, Oregon - In 6 games, James has piled up 971 yards and 11 TDs on the ground while also notching 121 yards receiving along with a TD. His biggest test so far will be this weekend against USC.

3. Denard Robinson, QB, Michigan - Robinson has fallen out of favor with a lot of voters because of Michigan’s losses, but let’s keep in mind, this is an individual award, not team award. Robinson currently has accounted for an insane 1,319 passing yards, 1,096 rushing yards, and 18 TDs.

4. Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma St. - The sensational sophomore is torching the Big 12. He has 62 receptions and 1,112 yards to go along with 14 TDs. In his worst output game of the season, he still managed 127 yards.

5. Robert Griffin, QB, Baylor - We knew Griffin would be good, but not this good. The Junior QB has led Baylor to Bowl Eligibility for the first time in 16 years. His 2,373 yards and 159 Passer rating are both tops in the Big 12.

6. Matt Barkley, QB, USC - Barkley is catching fire at the right time for the Trojans, having thrown for 742 yards and 8 TDs in the last 2 games. On the season he has 1,869 yards and 20 TDs.

Still have a Chance:
John Clay, RB, Wisconsin
Terrelle Pryor, QB, Ohio St.
Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
Kellen Moore, QB, Boise State

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.

12. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford - 4 passing TDs and a 52 yard rushing TD highlighted Luck’s big night on Saturday.

13. Kendall Hunter, RB, Oklahoma St. - had a light night of duty against Tulsa. Only managed 59 yards on 11 carries.

14. Noel Devine, RB, West Virginia - The fastest RB in the Big East had his 3rd consecutive 100 yard game to open the season.

Heisman Race So Far

After 2 weeks of football, we have a few new faces on the list and a few that we expected to be there. Here is how CFB Kings sees the Heisman race heading into the 3rd Weekend:

1. Denard Robinson, QB, Michigan - Could he become the 4th straight sophomore to win? Well, if he even remotely keeps up his pace, he is on track to become the first ever 2,000 yard passer/2,000 yards rusher in one season. Barring injury he might run away with this award (pun intended).

2. Terrelle Pryor, QB, Ohio St. - The pre-season favorite has performed on par with expectations and his big Week 2 win against the Miami Hurricanes solidified his candidacy.

3. Cameron Newton, QB, Auburn - The former Florida Gator has dominated defenses running Gus Malzahn’s spread attack. His 322 yards passing and 241 yards rushing are impressive.

4. Kendall Hunter, RB, Oklahoma St. - The former All-Big 12 selection (2008) is back to form. 414 yards and 6 TDs in 2 games.

5. Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas - He has dominated lesser competition to the tune of 701 yards and 6 TDs. Now he gets his first real test on the road at Georgia.

6. Kellen Moore, QB, Boise St - Virginia Tech losing to James Madison makes Boise’s win look a bit less impressive. But the Broncos signal caller is still a prime candidate.

7. Jerrod Johnson, QB, Texas A&M - The athletic Aggie Pro Prospect has 671 yards passing and 59 yards rushing in the first 2 games.

8. Daniel Thomas, RB, Kansas St - Has 371 yards and 4 Tds in 2 games.

9. Demarco Murray, RB, Oklahoma - The Senior has finally started a season in top health. It shows by his 311 total yards and 4 TDs so far.

10. Matt Barkley, QB, USC - The sophomore QB has 7 passing TDs to start the year. He should pile up stats agaist an overmatched Minnesota team this Saturday.

11. Marcus Lattimore, RB, South Carolina - The lone Freshman on the list got here with a 182 yard performance against Georgia.

12. Jake Locker, QB, Washington - After a disappointing Week 1 loss, Locker rebounded with a solid showing against Syracuse. A high profile matchup with Nebraska will either see him skyrocket or plummet in the contention.

13. Ryan Broyles, WR, Oklahoma - The only WR on the list has 266 yards and 3 TDs so far this year.

14. Jeff Demps, RB, Florida - As the Gators enter conference play, he has been the lone brightspot on an underachieving offense. Can he find the 100 yard mark at Tennessee?

15. Noel Devine, RB, West Virginia - Might be the best player in a talented Big East conference. 303 total yards and 2 TDs so far.

16. Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma - He makes 3 Sooners on the list. 380 yards and 4 TDs against the Seminoles.

17. Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU - Intriguing prospect. His opening night performance against North Carolina which included a Punt Return TD has preliminarily perched him as this years Defensive Heisman Darkhorse. He’s somebody to keep an eye on.

18. John Clay, RB, Wisconsin - 260 yards and 4 TDs is a nice way to start a year. Can he keep it up come Big Ten play?

19. Taylor Martinez, QB, Nebraska - His 157 yards rushing and 101 yards passing this weekend was impressive enough to get notice. He might be the best dual-threat QB in America behind Robinson.

Dropped, but still on the radar:

Jacory Harris, QB, Miami - Even though only 1 of them was his fault, anytime you throw 4 interceptions in a primetime game, you have to drop on the list. The good news is that he has 3 more high profile games coming up against Pittsburgh, Clemson, and Florida State to rebound.

Christian Ponder, QB, FSU - Rough outing in Oklahoma (113 yards and 2 Ints) but can bounce back this week against BYU.

Case Keenum, QB, Houston - Needed to put up monster numbers all season to be considered. Still has time to rebound, but had a head injury and his status in uncertain.

Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford - Looked below average (11 for 24 passing) against rival UCLA. Needs to pick up his play to be considered.

Dropped, and are probably out of the running:

Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama - Missing 2 games wont help his chances. Especially considering that his backup has performed great.

Tyrod Taylor, QB, Virginia Tech - After a home loss to FBS James Madison, his darkhorse chances are probably over.

Dion Lewis, RB, Pittsburgh - Needed to have a quick start, but after a dismal showing in a loss to Utah, he could only manage 27 yards in a win against New Hampshire. Not the way to start a Heisman campaign.

Josh Nesbitt, QB, Georgia Tech - Was ineffective in a loss to Kansas.

Outside Chance:
Robert Griffin, QB, Baylor
Greg McElroy, QB, Alabama
Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama
Andy Dalton, QB, TCU
B.J. Daniels, QB, USF
Nick Foles, QB, Arizona
Kyle Parker, QB, Clemson
Stephen Garcia, QB, South Carolina
John Brantley, QB, Florida
Marc Tyler, RB, USC
Lamichael James, RB, Oregon
