Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy has shot up the Heisman Trophy odds and is now tied with Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. at +260.
The 2023 college football season is more than halfway over, but the race for the most prestigious individual award in sports is very much up in the air. With Caleb Williams and the USC Trojans losing their second game of the season Saturday to Utah, the chances of seeing just the second two-time winner of the award are essentially over. It’s time to focus on the other talents competing on Saturdays. And as the sport heads into Week 9 of the season, a new name has emerged at the top.
'It’s one of those awards where you have to be perfect, and you’re always going to remember what happened last,' Feazel said of Penix. 'So, not a big overreaction. Not putting him in double digits or anything like that. Not saying he’s out of the race, but he definitely took a little bit of a step back in which we saw J.J. step up.' Penix still leads the country in passing yards and is tied for fourth in the nation with 20 touchdown passes.
