Top 5 Heisman candidates through 3 weeks
Top 5 Heisman candidates through 3 weeks
Jalen Hurts (Oklahoma )
Jalen has dominated the field since he has stepped foot on it game 1 this season. He had a pretty successful career at Alabama, but this is easily the best start to a season he has ever had. Through three weeks he is 49-61 80.3%, throwing for 880 yards 9 TDs with no interceptions. Hurts has 38 carries, 373 yards avg 9.8 yards a carry and 4 TDs. He has more touchdowns (13) than he does incompletions (12). He easily has the potential to be the third straight Heisman winner for Oklahoma.
2. Tua Tagovailoa (Alabama)
No surprise Tua is having such a great season so far. This has the potential to be one of the most talented teams Alabama has ever had. It is easily the best-receiving cores they have EVER had. With Tua’s dominating performance against South Carolina throwing for 444 yards and 5 touchdowns has him pretty close race to taking the number 1 spot in the Heisman race. Through three weeks Tua is 70-91 76.9% throwing for 1,007 yards 12 TDs 0 INTs. Tua also has 9 carries for 36 yards a 1 TD.
3. Joe Burrow (LSU)
Joe is quickly climbing up the list with his dominating performance over the last three weeks. Especially with his performance against Texas week 2. He is 75-90 83.3% for 1,122 passing yards 11 TDs throwing 2 INTs. He also has 17 carries 40 yards 1 TD. It will most likely be another dominating performance this week as they get ready for Vanderbilt.
4. Jonathan Taylor (Wisconsin)
Jonathan is one of the most athletic players an RBs in the country this season. Will also most likely be a first-round draft pick for the 2020 NFL draft. With his dominating performance in the first two weeks, then the badgers had a bye week last week. He is looking to lead the Badgers to a BIG10 championship. He has 35 carries 237 yards 5 TDs averaging 6.8 yards a carry. He also has 5 receptions for 65 yards and 3 TDs. for 302 all-purpose yards and 8TDs. He and the #13 ranked Badgers getting ready for their first conference matchup against #11 Michigan Saturday.
5. Zack Moss (Utah)
I do not think Zack Moss has been talked about enough. Bouncing back after a crazy injury last season he has done nothing but dominates the field this season. He is literally a Human bulldozer, he has 30 broken tackles this season (Leads the nation). He has 57 carries for 373 rushing yards, averaging 6.5 yards 4 TDs. The #10 Utes will be facing the USC Trojans this Friday.
