Week 2 Review

With each passing week we get to see more college football action, and more impressive performances. It's a process to select your Heisman leader, especially this early in the season. One game doesn't make or break a player's chances for the award, but it is part of the evaluation process. Here's how the stock of each of the players on my top 5 list from last week have changed.


(Each players ranking from last week in parentheses)


(2) Chase Daniel - 16 of 17 passing for 245 yards and 3 touchdowns against an overmatched SE MO St

(3) Sam Bradford - 395 yards passing 5 TDs and he completed over 76% of his passes in win against Cincinnati


(1) Tim Tebow - 256 passing yards 2 TDs in win against Miami

(4) Michael Crabtree - 7 receptions for 158 yards and one TD in win @ Nevada

(5) Pat White - 11 of 18 for 72 yards and no TDs in loss to up and coming East Carolina. He did rush for 97 yards, but it took him 20 carries and he lost a fumble.

Sam Bradford I think is the one extremely realistic candidate that nobody is really talking about. Considering Oklahoma is a serious championship contender, I think if OU wins the Big 12 and goes to the championship, he will start to get some serious consideration. The key will be how OU handles an extremely tough Big 12. Mizzou, Texas and Texas Tech all have appeared to get better and KU I guess we'll see how much better they are but OU will have to be successful in the Big 12 in order for Bradford to have a shot.
