Two weeks ago, when I ranked the Heisman contenders, I had a list of 10 with Rondale Moore on the outside looking in. What a difference two weeks makes. The Heisman field has already narrowed itself down, and I can’t justify ranking 10 players again. One month into the season, it appears to be a five-player race.
conspectus
\ kən-ˈspek-təs \
noun
1: a usually brief survey or summary (as of an extensive subject) often providing an overall view
Each week, Greg Brandt and Brad McDaniel will write a conspectus from the week of football that was. This week, there were several key injuries, a couple of upsets that ruined one conference’s CFP hopes, record-breaking QB performances, and coaches squarely on the hot seat after one month.
Devy values are very fluid. They can balloon and fluctuate from week to week. It’s not the best practice to (over)react to one game, but with three games in the books for most teams, it’s time take a look at the running back position. Whose stock is up? Whose stock is down? Whose stock is holding steady?
Each week, Greg Brandt and/or Brad McDaniel will write a conspectus from the week of football that was. This week, the ACC showed just how bad it is. Three ranked teams lost on a weekend primed for upsets. Florida QB Feleipe Franks will miss the rest of the 2019 season after suffering an ankle injury against Kentucky.
Two weeks into the college football season, the Heisman race is beginning to take shape. We’ve seen some big individual performances already. We’ve seen week-to-week consistency from players you would expect it from. We have a couple of transfer quarterbacks making their new teams really appreciate the Transfer Portal. We have one quarterback on this list that I would not have put on a preseason Heisman watch list even though, in hindsight, all of the signs were there.
Five-star QB Justin Fields signed with the hometown Georgia Bulldogs out of high school. After one season and the realization that Jake Fromm will not lose the starting job as long as he has eligibility, Fields transferred to Ohio State. Similar to how Fromm ran off Eason and Fields, Fields’ transfer sent Matthew Baldwin to TCU and turned Tathan Martell into a slot receiver at Miami.
Five-star RB Kendall Milton committed to Georgia over Alabama, LSU, and Ohio State. What kind of player are the Bulldogs getting?
This week, a college football staple announced his retirement, Nebraska and TCU got some bad news, and with camp beginning, the Vols are still waiting on a big waiver decision.
It’s one thing to be good at football. It’s another thing to have a great name. A lot of good football players have everyday names. If you are talented AND have a great name, well, that’s the kind of thing that Key & Peele write skits about.
If Key & Peele used real players in their skits, here are the names you would hear:
