Washington Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has taken a commanding lead in the Heisman Trophy race after beating Oregon and Caleb Williams' poor performance against Notre Dame.
The odds of college football seeing just its second back-to-back Heisman Trophy winner have taken a major hit. Caleb Williams, the winner of the 2022 Heisman Trophy, had his worst game of the season on Saturday against Notre Dame as the USC Trojans were soundly beaten in South Bend, Indiana. Williams threw for just 199 yards with three interceptions as the Trojans turned the ball over five times in the route. 'I made mistakes that I usually don’t make,' Williams said.
Oklahoma’s schedule the rest of the way is manageable as the Sooners don’t have a ranked team on the schedule, though Kansas was ranked earlier in the season. Jayden Daniels, LSU: +850 LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels is commanding the second-best offense in the country with a defense that has struggled to get stops. The Tigers are second in the country in yards per game and third in points per game. Daniels is second in the nation with 23 passing touchdowns and third in yards .
Against Auburn in Week 7, Daniels completed 20 of 27 passes for 325 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in a 48-18 drubbing of the Tigers. Daniels also rushed for 93 yards. The problem with Daniels is that LSU is likely out of the College Football Playoff picture after dropping games to Florida State and Ole Miss earlier in the season. Winning plays a big role in Heisman voting, though Daniels seems to be bucking the trend.
