Most Likely Heisman Trophy Candidates

Terrelle Pryor



Determining the most likely recipient for the Heisman Trophy prior to the season is typically simple.  Identify the players with the biggest threat: based on statistics and their teams chances for success.
Mark Ingram
Most critics would say the previous winner has an edge over the rest going into the next season.  Since, Mark Ingram is the third consecutive sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy, he becomes the third consecutive player  to challenge Archie Griffin.  Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford couldn't cash-in on a second Heisman Trophy, which leave Ohio State's Archie Griffin the only two-time winner ever.

Trent Richardson, Ingram's teammate,  may keep his numbers down. With this factor and the other contenders, I don't like Ingram's chances of repeating for a second Heisman.  The 5 players listed below have a great chance of being the Heisman Winner.

Terrelle Pryor, QB,  has improved enough to lead Ohio State into going unbeaten.

Ryan Mallett, The Razorbacks QB has a huge arm and coach Bobby Petrino's offenses always put up big numbers for Arkansas

Ryan Williams, RB, Virginia Tech. The Hokies are always in the mix for a national championship and Williams is great back to lean on and a highlight waiting to happen.

Case Keenum, QB, Houston. Puts up PS3-Like-numbers, with 5,671 yards and 44 TD's last season. All his skill position talent is back and if the Cougars can push for a BCS bid, it will be impossible for him to get overlooked.

Kellen Moore, QB.  If Boise State goes undefeated again, Moore will be a Heisman Tropy finalist. He threw 39 TD passes and only three picks last year and could make a major statement in the opener against Virginia Tech.
