Well we are now out of Heisman previews and onto the race. This is what our top 5 contenders did this weekend and where they stand.
#1 Tim Tebow
When the previous years Heisman winner returns for his junior year he has to be atop the list. Tebow's numbers were small against Hawaii (137 yards passing 1 td and 37 yards on the ground) Florida didn't need him so they didn't want him banged up. Performance Grade: C+
#2 Chase Daniel
323 yards passing and 3 tds as well as 47 yards on the ground. This was a big start for Daniels who took down a top 25 team and didn't let the expectations get to him. Performance Grade: B+
#3 Beanie Wells
Well he racked up 111 yards and a TD before going down with a foot injury. No word on how serious it is but this could derail the Beanie Wells bandwagon. Performance Grade: B-
#4 Pat White
He flashed the arm and threw for 208 yards and 5 scores as well as he feet (63 yards rushing). If he can keep up these kind of passing numbers and throw in a few running scores we got ourselves a serious Heisman contender. Performance Grade: B+
#5 Graham Harrell
He absolutely lit it up 536 yards passing and three total touchdowns. Problem for him is he might split votes with his WR Michael Crabtree. B+
Whose name fell out of the race?
Armanti Edwards. While he was always a long shot he really needed a big day on that kind of stage to stand anychance.
Whose name is now in the race?
Juice Williams. Ya its only one game but if he can keep those numbers up he has to be in the conversation.
