Yes, the Cougars are a legitimate championship contender, and currently sit ninth in the polls. Pioneering this program’s newfound success is quarterback Hall.
Through five victories so far this season, Hall has compiled 1,587 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, a mere four interceptions, and an astounding 71.8 completion percentage. As long as Max Hall is under center, Brigham Young is for real.
Evan Royster, Running Back, Penn State
After years of relative obscurity, at least by their standards, Penn State is finally relevant in the national college football scheme. Off to a blistering 6-0 start, the Nittany Lions are near the top in almost every significant offensive category.
Leading the Lions is sophomore running back Evan Royster. With 659 yards, eight touchdowns, and 7.8 yards per carry average, Royster has pummeled opposing defenses all season long.
While he may not garner substantial votes in his sophomore season, Royster has a serious chance to hoist the hardware by the time his career is over in Happy Valley. In the meantime, he might just have to settle for a BCS bowl berth.
Graham Harrell, Quarterback, Texas Tech
How does the nation’s leading passer only rank eighth on the Heisman Trophy list? Similar to Ringer’s rushing statistics in Michigan State’s offense, the passing numbers at Texas Tech are severely inflated with their run and gun scheme.
With no running game to speak of, Harrell attempts 50 passes per game with regularity, creating an excessive amount of opportunities for touchdown passes to wide receiver Michael Crabtree.
While both he and Crabtree are both great players, their lucrative numbers overstate their value.
