Heisman Standings:
1. Tua Tagovailoa (Alabama)
2. Jalen Hurts (Oklahoma)
3. Joe Burrow (LSU)
4. Trevor Lawrence (Clemson)
5. Sam Ehlinger (Texas)
Tua Tagovailoa is back on top of our Heisman standings as he threw for 444 yards, five touchdowns, and a 77.8% completion rate, to go along with an incredible 97.2 QBR. Tua looks back to normal now that he's healthy and he should be in New York in December. Jalen Hurts should be there too. In fact, he might become the third consecutive winner from Oklahoma. He had 289 yards and three touchdowns against UCLA in a 48-14 win. Joe Burrow just keeps putting up huge games, throwing for 373 yards and two scores last week. He also had an interception in the victory. Trevor Lawrence looked back to normal after a slow start to the season, going for 395 yards and three touchdown passes. He has been somewhat sloppy with the ball, though, throwing two picks. Sam Ehlinger had a 92.2 QBR against Rice.
