Heisman Trophy Rankings Week 5: Denard Robinson Moves to the Top

With the fifth week of college football past us, it's time to rank the top 10 in the Heisman trophy race.

While you may not agree on where I rank each player, I always welcome a differing opinion so let me know where you'd have these players ranked.

There were several players who had big weeks and one in particular that put himself back on top of the Heisman race.

Here are the leading 10 candidates for the Heisman trophy.

No. 10: A.J. Klein (Iowa State)

The sophomore linebacker for Iowa State has three interceptions on the season, 100 total return yards, and two touchdowns.

He also has 52 total tackles on the season, 17 solo and 35 assisted.

No. 9: Jarvis Phillips (Texas Tech)

The freshman defensive back has tallied four interceptions on the season for Texas Tech, returning one of them for a touchdown and totaling 114 return yards.

This isn't something strange to Hawaii football, having a quarterback lead the nation in passing since they've had quarterbacks in the past that have done just that, now Bryant Moniz will add himself to that list.

Through five games, Moniz has thrown for 1,869 yards, averaging 373.8 yards per game, and 15 touchdowns.

Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor pulled a Willis Reed on Saturday in Columbus. The gimpy quarterback came sprinting back out on to the field during the third quarter but admitted that he couldn't do much more than hand the ball off to his running backs.
