HogManInLA’s Heisman Watch List: Week 14 Heisman Top Five-ish

Even though Robert Griffin III only got to play in the first half due to concussion like symptoms, he still finished Saturday’s game with three total touchdowns in a non-defensive game against Texas Tech winning 66-42… and Big 12 fans don’t understand why their high scoring offenses lose in BCS Bowl Games?

Trent Richardson put on another running back clinic against Auburn. The only hole to poke in his game was zero rushing touchdowns. Not very Heisman like, but again, that’s poking holes against a guy that rushed for over 200 yards.

Montee Ball continued his assault on college football’s single season rushing records. Wisconsin will play Michigan State in the Big 10 Conference Championship, another opportunity to gain on Trent Richardson who not get to add another game’s worth of stats in the SEC Championship Game this year.

If Brandon Weeden has a shot to win the Heisman Trophy and gain new voters, this weekend’s game against Oklahoma will be his chance. The Bedlam Series not only could decide the BCS National Championship teams, assuming OSU can win big over OU, but also the Heisman Trophy winner. Weeden has two concerns coming out of the Big 12, 1) will Heisman voters split votes between Weeden and Justin Blackmon and 2) will Heisman voters split votes between Weeden and Landry Jones?

All talk may be for not if Heisman voters are still stuck on Andrew Luck. Despite the fact that Luck’s total numbers are pedestrian and he only has one quality win on his resume, somehow he is still a frontrunner according to media pundits?
