Collin Klein continued his dominance last week and Kenjon Barner established himself as the clear #2 on the Heisman 5+1. Just remember where you saw Colby Cameron first when all the national Heisman pundits start jumping on his bandwagon in a few weeks! Matt Scott hopped back on the list with an impressive win and Tajh Boyd finally made the cut.
1. Collin Klein, QB, Kansas State (1,630 yards passing, 70.9%, 12 TD’s, 2 INT’s; 634 yards rushing, 5.2 ypc, 16 TD’s) Optimus Klein keeps chewing up other Heisman candidates like the Devastator. Who’s next?
2. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon (974 yards rushing, 6.9 ypc, 14 TD’s; 159 yards receiving, 1 TD) Barner is the best running back in the country. Imagine what his stats would look like if Oregon played any close games and he could play second halves.
3. Colby Cameron, QB, Louisiana Tech (2,598 yards passing, 70.5%, 21 TD’s, 0 INT’s; 110 yards rushing, 2 TD’s) Colby keeps winning. That’s the important part. The stats will come in that offense. Cameron deserves an invite to the Heisman ceremony if Louisiana Tech goes 11-1 (or even 10-2).
4. Matt Scott, QB, Arizona (2,724 yards passing, 62.9%, 20 TD’s, 9 INT’s; 291 yards rushing, 4.4 ypc, 4 TD’s) Scott dropped almost 500 yards of total offense on USC and placed himself back on the 5+1. Arizona has 3 losses, but all 3 were to teams ranked in the top 15.
5. Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson (2,336 yards passing, 67.7%, 20 TD’s, 6 INT’s; 219 yards rushing, 4 TD’s) Hello, Tajh! Where have you been all year? This is what Clemson fans, and quite frankly, the 5+1 was expecting coming into the season.
+1. Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M (2,216 yards passing, 64.3%, 16 TD’s, 6 INT’s; 793 yards rushing, 6.8 ypc, 13 TD’s)

Who could forget Colby Cameron?
He was great in “Growing Paiins” as Mike Seaver. Then, he lost his mind.
