Trell's Race for the Heisman Week 3 Edition
1. Jameis Winston FSU ( 22-27 256 yards 1TD ) In just a little over a half of work, Winston managed to throw for over 250 yards in his 4th straight regular season game. Easy win for FSU as they go into the bye week the number one team in the nation. September 20th Winston will be tested with a home game versus Atlantic Division rival Clemson.
2. Marcus Mariota ORE ( 17-28 318 yards 3 TD ) Mariota led the Ducks from a 24-18 halftime deficit to a 46-27 win against top 10 Michigan State. Two out of the three Mariota touchdowns came during a 28-0 run that sealed the game for Oregon. Mariota controlled the 2nd half of the game but I don't see that as enough to take the number one spot in the Heisman race. Oregon will face Wyoming at home this Saturday. Expect another big stat game from Mariota.
3. Kenny Hill TAMU ( 17-26 283 yards 4 TD ) So far so good for Kenny Hill in replacing Heisman trophy quarterback Johnny Manziel as he moves into the 3rd spot of my Heisman race. Hill has thrown for a combine 794 yards and 7 TD in Texas A&M two blowout wins. The Aggies do not play a ranked team til October 11th when #14 Ole Miss goes to College Station. If Hill can continue his high level of play through the SEC schedule then this Heisman race can turn out to be one for the ages.
4. Todd Gurley UGA ( IDLE ) Gurley deserved a week off after rushing for right under 200 yards and 3 touchdowns plus a 100 yard kick return against #16 Clemson. Gurley drop in my Heisman race does not mean he is out of it. A good performance versus #24 South Carolina will put him right back in the top 3.
2. Marcus Mariota ORE ( 17-28 318 yards 3 TD ) Mariota led the Ducks from a 24-18 halftime deficit to a 46-27 win against top 10 Michigan State. Two out of the three Mariota touchdowns came during a 28-0 run that sealed the game for Oregon. Mariota controlled the 2nd half of the game but I don't see that as enough to take the number one spot in the Heisman race. Oregon will face Wyoming at home this Saturday. Expect another big stat game from Mariota.
