Hooker has been one of the most impressive quarterbacks in college football this season.
The 24-year-old entered Saturday's game against Kentucky having completed 70.6 percent of his passes for 2,093 yards and 18 touchdowns against one interception in seven games. He has also rushed for 315 yards and three scores on 63 carries.
Stroud has very similar passing numbers through seven games with the Buckeyes. He has completed 70 percent of his passes for 2,023 yards and 28 touchdowns against four interceptions.
At this point, it's a little too early to say who might win the Heisman, but Hooker is giving Stroud a run for his money.
