Preseason 2014 - Top Heisman Trophy Candidates

Jameis Winston Florida State QB Sophomore While leading FSU to a national title as a freshman, Winston threw for 3820 yards as the Seminoles marched to an undefeated season.  Winston tossed 38 TD pass vs 10 interceptions.  Winston ranked first nationally in passing efficiency with a 190.8 rating and was second nationally in passing touchdowns.
Marcus Mariota Oregon QB Junior Last year, Mariota became the first Oregon quarterback to top 4,000 yards of total offense (4,380) while accounting for 40 total touchdowns and just four interceptions.  After leading the Ducks to an 8-0 start, the Oregon QB was the nation's top Heisman candidate.  However, Mariota was slowed by a knee injury and Oregon lost two late season games.
Braxton Miller Ohio State QB Senior Braxton led a resurgent Buckeyes team by passing for 2,094 passing yards, 24 passing TDs, 7 interceptions, 1,068 rushing yards, 12 rushing TDs.  As a dominating dual-threat QB, Miller delivers the type of stats that have been well received by Heisman voters in recent years.  Miller's performance has shown steady improvement since his 2011 freshman season.  Miller's QB rating has climbed from a 138.4 in 2011 to a 140.5 in 2012 before jumping to 158.1 last season.
Heisman Trophy Recipe For Success What  are the ingredients Heisman voters look for?
BCS AQ 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.  Now with each "passing" year, it has become an award taken home by quarterbacks.  Since the year 2000, a QB has won the award every year but twice.
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.  When QB Cam Newton rushed for 1,409 yards and 20 TD's in 2010, his bid for the award was not to be denied.
A National Title Contender: It's a trend that's gaining momentum as recent winners (Troy Smith, Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart Jason White, Mark Ingram and Cam Newton) had their teams positioned for a national title game appearance when the Heisman voting was conducted in mid December.  In 2011, both LSU's Tyrann Mathieu and Alabama's Trent Richardson were both finalist and in the BCS Championship Game.
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. Cam Newton 2010 and Robert Griffin III were dual threat QB's as well.
