After yesterday, who is the Heisman Trophy frontrunner?

Dak

I would agree, but I just don't see MSU beating Bama.

Melvin Gordon is getting hosed. He has better stats at this point in the season then a lot of previous Heisman winning RBs.

coleman should be in the conversation as well. Gordon has 18 tds to go along with his 7.5 ypc which is what puts him in the same category as the previous winners.

Well considering Dak had a career high in passing yards yesterday I doubt he dropped in the voters minds

Dak wouldn't be even a top 5 real heisman candidate if he didn't have a fun name and didn't have a similar style to Tebow. The RB is clearly Miss St best player and should be the heisman candiate on the team IMO

ah, right, nevermind

Connor Halliday from Wazzu is leading the nation in passing, fyi...FWIW.

He has the highest completion %, most yards and most Tds.

In the old days, that would make you one of the top favorites...ala Flutie, Detmer, Andre Ware, etc.

Now it's just become mostly the best QB or RB on the nations top team the last 15 years.

The only anomalies was RGIII/Manziel.

not really. you always had to be a highly publicized player because of some team success. if you look back at the list of best QB by historical completion percentage it isn't exactly flush with heisman trophy winning QBs:
