Heisman Chase: Brady "Houdini" Quinn is Charging Hard

8. Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas (5). Just when I thought McFadden might explode, he had a pretty quiet game against Ole Miss. Despite scoring twice and gaining 124 total yards, McFadden only had 39 yards on 14 carries and once again didn't lead the Razorbacks in rushing. He's an amazing talent, but I'm not sure he's a legitimate Heisman candidate.

9. Erik Ainge, QB, Tennessee (10). Ainge nearly cost Tennessee the game this weekend with his three picks, but I'm leaving him here for now. He threw for 302 yards, the overall numbers are still good, and the Vols continue to lurk as a top one-loss team.

10(tie). P.J. Hill, RB, Wisconsin (NR) and Garrett Wolfe (7) The Badgers have lost only to Michigan and Hill is quietly becoming a monster of a running back. He went for 161 yards and a couple of touchdowns as Wisconsin improved to 7-1 on the year. As for Wolfe, he is pretty much done. Another performance of less than 50 yards spelled doom. Which sucks, because the little man with the huge game is a great player. I'm keeping him on at least one more week with the hopes that he'll go for 350 or something and start climbing back up.

Falling Out: Charles Johnson (a shutout on national TV will do that to you).

On the Verge: Colt McCoy (keeps getting closer as he keeps avoiding interceptions), Ted Ginn Jr. (with a passing touchdown to add to his mix of eclectic stats he is getting some buzz again), and Pat White (if the WVU quarterback keeps upstaging his teammate Slaton, it will be too hard to ignore him any longer).

MIDWEST BIAS!

Yeah, I didn't get a chance to read this until today. Which is silly because another week has gone by.

Oh, and the Garrett Wolfe bandwagon has broke down, caught on fire and was sold for scrap.

Good article. I enjoyed it even though I consider the Heisman to be the most over-rated sports trophy not named the Ryder Cup.
It used to mean something, now it's whoever has the best PR team.
