My Heisman Finalists

On December 14, 2013 they will be handing out the Heisman trophy for the 78th time. The finalists for the award have not been announce yet. Jamie Winston became the leading candidate after a sub-par game from Johnny Manziel and Alabama losing to Auburn. Since we don't know the other candidates I came up with a list of players I would like to see in New York with

Carlos Hyde, RB Senior Ohio State Buckeyes

Most people would have Braxton Miller in this spot and I would not blame them, but with the way Kenny Guiton played filling in for Miller when he was injury early this season. I'm going with the Hyde who seem to improve the team once he return after being suspend for the first three games. Hyde has 1, 064 rushing yards in spite of only playing 9 games. He has had two career highs in rushing yards this seaon. One was against Illinois when he had 246 yards and 4 touchdowns adding a receiving touchdown that day. Then this past Saturday against the rival Michigan he ran for 276 yards averaging 8.4 yards per carry. He also have had seven straight games with over 100 yards on the ground.

Derek Carr, QB Senior Frenso State Bulldogs

You might see the the name Carr and say it sounds familiar and you would be right he is the younger brother of former number one pick David Carr. Derek is not like his brother, he might actually be a very good pro quarterback. Derek is on this list because this young man puts up numbers that you only see in video games.  He leads all FBS quarterbacks with 4, 462 yards. He has a 70.3% completion rate and has thrown 45 touchdowns with only 5 picks. He has also thrown over 6 or more touchdowns in agame twice this year. Threw for more then 5 touchdowns or more 4 times. Has thrown less then 250 passing yards once, while throwing over 400 yards   7 times this year. The lost the Bulldogs had this past Thursday knock them out of a BCS bowl game it was not cause a lack of effort from Derek Carr who completed 38 out of 50 passes racked up 519 yards and threw 6 touchdowns.

Jordan Lynch, QB Senior Northern Illinois Huskies

Jordan has put alot of stats this year. He is listed as the Huskies quarterback, but he is their best running back also. Even though he has only pass 2, 457 yards and had a game where he threw for only 39 yards (Western Michigan). He has run for 1, 755 yards third in FBS, which include a 321 yard game against that same Western Michigan team. Lynch is a touchdown scoring machine he has thrown for 22 touchdowns and rushed for 20. Who can argue with those stats.

Jameis Winston , QB Freshman Florida State Seminoles

Even with the alleged sexual assault Jameis Winston is the front runner for this year Heisman trophy. It all started his first game of the season against Pittsburgh when he pump out unbelievable stats like going 25 for 27  for 356 passing yards and 4 touchdowns. Because the ACC conference is weak this year Winston did not have that many big Heisman type games, but the one he did have he showed out. It was at Clemson where he out played  at that time the other Heisman hopefully quarterback Tajh Boyd. Completing 22 out 34 passes for 444 yards and throwing for 3 touchdowns. Winston has had a very good freshman year ranking in top 5 in FBS  in completion percentage and in touchdown passed. He also just missed being in the top 10 for passing yards. Jamies Winston is one game away from leading the Seminoles to the national championship game in January,  and two weeks from taking home the Heisman, being the second freshman to win the Heisman trophy.
