Stewart Mandel’s Top 5 Heisman Trophy candidates after Week 12
Stewart Mandel’s Top 5 Heisman Trophy candidates after Week 12
1. Louisville QB Lamar Jackson
After coming up for air from those 11 sacks Thursday, a reminder that Jackson on the season has thrown for 3,109 yards, rushed for 1,367 and produced 47 TDs against nine turnovers.
2. Oklahoma WR Dede Westbrook
I've been slow to acknowledge that Westbrook is the Sooners' best Heisman candidate. He's racked up 1,200 yards and 15 TDs during OU's current eight-game winning streak.
3. Alabama QB Jalen Hurts
The freshman continues to carry Alabama's offense, accounting for 204 of the Tide's 332 yards and three of their four TDs against Chattanooga. He's completing 65 percent of his passes.
4. Stanford RB Christian McCaffrey
You forgot about him? Last year's runner-up shredded Cal for 284 rushing yards. Despite a midseason slump he yet again leads the nation in all-purpose yards (205.6 per game).
5. Houston DT Ed Oliver
Remarkably, a true freshman defensive tackle for a Group of 5 team ranks in the top five nationally with 19 tackles for loss and leads all D-linemen nationally in tackles (61) and pass breakups (nine).
