Heisman Watch 2019: Latest Race Odds and Predictions
The Heisman Trophy race lost one of its top contenders Saturday afternoon in Week 12 after Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a season-ending hip injury in a win over Mississippi State. In nine games in 2019, he passed for 2,584 yards and 31 touchdowns against just three interceptions.
Now it's down to the following, with odds via FanDuel:
LSU QB Joe Burrow -800 (bet $800 to win $100)
Ohio State QB Justin Fields +700 (bet $100 to win $700)
Oklahoma QB Jalen Hurts +1,600
Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor +10,000
Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence +10,000
Burrow has emerged as the clear front-runner. During the No. 1 Tigers' 10-0 start, he has passed for 3,198 yards, 33 touchdowns and four interceptions.
He has already set the single-season LSU record for passing yards, passing touchdowns and total touchdowns, and he continued his historic campaign with a big day in Saturday's 58-37 win over Ole Miss, passing for a career-high 489 yards and five touchdowns.
"You know things have changed at LSU when you have 700 yards of total offense and everybody is upset in the locker room," Burrow said, according to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN). For years, LSU has been a defensive powerhouse, but the script has flipped this season.
Fields, meanwhile, has passed for 1,859 yards, 27 touchdowns and one interception while rushing for 347 yards and 10 scores. And Hurts has passed for 2,742 yards, 24 touchdowns and four interceptions while rushing for 869 yards and 15 scores.
But both are distant challengers.
Burrow, a senior, has the Tigers as the favorites to win the SEC championship for the first time since 2011 and to potentially make the College Football Playoff for the first time since the system was implemented in 2014.
