I think Bridgewater hurt his chances with a pretty pedestrian game against a very bad Kentucky team.

Because Oregon hasn't played anyone yet.

They scored 59 points in 2 and a half quarters against an SEC team last weekend and had a similar demolition of an ACC team the week before. But I suppose A&M's 65 vs. SHSU is a similar result...

Impressive numbers but Tennessee is a mediocre SEC team and Virginia is a mediocre ACC team. Manziel jumped back to the front of the line after putting up historic numbers on the #1 team in the country. Mariota/Thomas won't have a chance for something similar until the Stanford game.

How is he the frontrunner? did you watch the Alabama game? Have you watched any game he has played in this year? I am not a fan of him, but he is something special (not sure how that will translate at the next level).

I am more impressed with Mike Evans than Manziel. What would Manziel's numbers look like if Evans was just another receiver?

+1 great college player. Incredible college player. Don't see it translating to the NFL, but that's not what the heisman is about

way too early to talk Heisman stuff. Kind of stupid at this point. Let it play out.

I feel fortunate to have seen Manziel play at Smu last year, before most had heard of him. I remember saying to my nephew at that game, " if SMU had this QB(Manziel) and Aggies had ours, the score would be reversed..this kid is unbelievable!"

I hope he wins Heisman again.
