2010 Heisman Trophy Candidates and Heisman Favorites Watch List

Heisman Trophy Recipe For Success
What are the ingredients Heisman voters look for?

BCS Conference: Not since Ty Demeter won the Heisman at BYU in 1990 has a Heisman Trophy winner come from a school
that's not currently in a BCS conference. BCS conference schools gain the weekly spotlight by dominating the TV networks
and the highlight shows.

The Right Position: The last two decades have only produced three Heisman winners that weren't positioned as a QB or RB.
Tim Brown 1987, Desmond Howard 1991 and Charles Woodson 1997 broke the mold.

Breathtaking Stats: Despite Tim Tebow being a sophomore in 2007, Heisman voters could not deny the 59 Td's he
accounted for including an SEC record 22 rushing Td's. Not even Herschel Walker and Bo Jackson put up those kind of
numbers.

A National Title Contender: It's a trend that's gaining momentum as recent winners (Troy Smith, Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart
and Jason White) had their teams positioned for a national title game appearance when the Heisman voting was conducted
in early December.

Buzz and More Buzz: Without the Hype going into the season, it's nearly impossible for a player to gain the voters attention:
With player specific promotional websites and aggressive marketing campaigns launched by a Heisman candidates
particular school, it's essential to start the season with "Heisman Hype" to match "Heisman Talent!."

Defining Moment: Doug Flutie's Hail Mary pass against Miami was a defining moment his Heisman season. 2009 Heisman
winner Mark Ingram sealed the deal with a breakout performance against Florida in the SEC Championship Game.

Quarterbacks that can run: Tim Tebow won the Heisman as a sophomore because of his record-setting and stunning
rushing stats.

Andy Dalton TCU/Senior	Dalton guided TCU to a 12-0 regular season before the Horned Frogs dropped the Fiesta Bowl to Boise State. Dalton is a threat through the air and on the ground. As a passer, Dalton threw for 2,756 yards and 23 TD's vs. 8 INT's. The senior to be also rushed for 512 yards and 3 TD's for TCU.
Blaine Gabbert Missouri/Junior	Following in the footsteps of former Mizzou Heisman favorite Chase Daniel, Gabbert is emerging as a top passer. In 2009, the 6-5, 240-pound Gabbert passed for 3,593 yards while producing a 24-9, TD-INT ratio. Gabbert led the Tigers to an 8-win season while passing for 3,593 yards and 24 TD's.
Jacory Harris Miami/Junior	Although his season hit some rough spots, there was no doubting that Miami's Jacory Harris was electric when he was on. Harris guided the Canes to a 9-win season while passing for 3,352 yards and 24 TD's. The Blemish on Harris' record was his 17 INT's.
Case Keenum Houston/Senior	Keenum threw for an amazing 5,671 yards for the Cougars while posting a 44-15, TD-INT ratio. Keenum guided Houston to a 3-0 record vs. BCS conference schools and threw for 500+ yards four times. The biggest concern about the senior signal caller is the (9) interceptions he threw in the season's final two games.
Jake Locker Washington/Senior	Locker bypassed what many believed would be a first round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft to come back and play for the Huskies. As a junior, Locker helped Washington beat USC and Cal while throwing for 2,800 yards and 21 TD's vs. 11 INT's. Locker also has the wheels to run as the 6-3, 226-pound QB rushed for 338 yards and 7 TD's last season.
Andrew Luck Stanford/Sophmore	Luck burst onto the scene as a freshman and led Stanford to an 8-win season that included wins over USC, UCLA, USC and Notre Dame.

Terrelle Pryor Ohio State QB/Junior	As the maturation process moved fast forward for Pryor towards the end of his 2009 season, the Ohio State QB began to produce tremendous results. Not only did Pryor pass for 2,094 yards and 18 TD's, but he led the Buckeyes in rushing as well. The 6-6, 236 pound QB rushed for 779 yards and 7 TD's as Ohio State won its last 6 games en route to an 11-2 season.

Noel Devine West Virginia/Senior	When it comes to creating offense, this West Virginia RB is simply "Devine!" During the 2009 campaign, Devine rushed for 1,465 yards and 13 TD's. Devine is also a legitimate threat out of the backfield after having accumulated 177 yards receiving and a score.
M ark Ingram Alabama/Junior	8-31-10 Update: Ingram will miss the season opener against San Jose State after having knee surgery on August 31.

Dion Lewis Pitt/Sophomore	Dion Lewis emerged as a tremendous force during his freshman season at Pitt. The 5-8, 195-pound speedster rushed for 1,799 yards and 17 TD's while also gaining 189 yards and 1 TD receiving. Lewis rushed for 150+ yard in each of his last 4 games.
Jacquizz Rodgers Oregon St./Junior	Rodgers is quite a force for the Beavers and in 2009, the 5-7, 191-pound back rushed for 1,440 yards and 21 TD's. What may separate Rodgers from the pack is his tremendous receiving skills. In 2009, Rodgers posted 522 yards and 1 TD through the air.
