Five football Saturdays have flown past, giving us enough information to draw some conclusions and hand out some fake hardware to the best and worst things we’ve seen so far this season.
This is a fascinating Heisman Trophy race so far, with three distinctly different candidates and selling points. A quick breakdown of each:The Colorado Buffaloes’ two-way star keeps stacking up incredible performances on a better-than-expected team. Hunter had another game with a touchdown reception and an interception in Colorado’s blowout of Central Florida on Saturday, continuing to do things that haven’t been done in a long time in the sport.
Milroe made his claim as a Heisman contender in a major way with 491 total yards and four touchdowns against Georgia. / John David Mercer-Imagn ImagesThe Boise State Broncos running back has been unstoppable so far, leading the nation in rushing yards per game and rushing touchdowns . His 10.3 yards per carry is assuredly unsustainable over the course of a full season, but Jeanty could have a shot at the FBS record 7.78 yards per carry for a player with 280 or more rushing attempts.
Odom’s program is 5–0 for the first time in 40 years, 2–0 against power-conference competition and 1–0 after its starting quarterback up and quit in an NIL payment dispute. With, UNLV promptly routed Fresno State on Saturday, 59–14. The Rebels are an all-three-phases team, scoring touchdowns on defense, a punt return and a kickoff return.
Odom’s October starts with a visit Friday night from Syracuse. If UNLV goes 3–0 against power-conference opponents, that will be a College Football Playoff resume line that no other Group of 5 school could match., the marquee SEC showdown fulfilled the hype. If someone tries to tell you the sport is ruining itself, just flip on video of this game and prove otherwise. From Monday to Friday, college football often is a mess, but not on Saturdays.
