Race to the Heisman

Week 10 of the college football season was filled with offensive fireworks, dominant performances from teams geared for a playoff spot, and upsets galore. Let's take a look at which players are atop of our Heisman leader board.

1. Ashton Jeanty

The "Boogeyman of Boise State" got off to a slow start against San Diego State as he ended the first half with only 37 yards on 15 carries. He then exploded in the third quarter for 112 yards and two touchdowns. The Aztec's defense gameplan of shutting down the run looked to backfire as Boise State QB, Maddux Madsen threw for 307 yards and four scores — both career highs — and No. 15 Boise State routed San Diego State 56-24 on Friday night for its sixth straight victory. If the Broncos can win out the regular season while Jeanty maintaining his absurd level of production he should be the front runner for the Heisman.

2.Cam Ward

Miami's Heisman Trophy hopeful QB threw for 400 yards and five touchdowns as the Hurricanes erased a double digit deficit to dominate Duke 53-31. Ward now has 29 touchdown passes, tying Steve Walsh's Hurricane single-season record set in 1988. Not only has Cam Ward's level of play strengthened his Heisman candidacy, but also raised his draft stock as there's a legitimate possibility of him going number one overall in the upcoming NFL draft.

3. Dillon Gabriel

An efficient but somewhat pedestrian performance from Oregon's star QB puts him in the number three spot.Dillon Gabriel threw a touchdown pass and ran for a score in the Duck's 38-17 win over the defending national champions Michigan Wolverines. Team success and a high quality victory over Ohio State keeps Gabriel in the race but, unless he can start to separate himself from the pack he'll soon be in danger of losing his position in the rankings to high-rising players such as Travis Hunter or Jaxson Dart
