#Gamechangers

In this article I will be talking about how the Heisman race is going. Jameis Winston is in the lead putting up some good numbers this year as a redshirt, freshman. He has it locked up if he can just win the last couple games before Florida State plays in their bowl game which could very well be the National Championship game on January 7, 2014. He has the impressive wins against Clemson when he beat them in Death Valley and against Miami who is fading. The only potential upset that Florida State and Jameis have to avoid is in the ACC Championship game. They will either face Duke or Miami who lost the tiebreaker against Duke.
Johnny Manziel, the reigning Heisman trophy winner is in second place. He had the most eventful off season in college football ever. He has battled through some injuries to be in this position. He has lost two big games in which he made big plays and also made critical mistakes in. He lost against Alabama and Auburn. He has huge numbers which are better than last year, but he has thrown quite a few interceptions this season as well. He has a big game against LSU this weekend that might put him above Jameis Winston if he has an amazing game. He will have to be a game changer.
Marcus Mariota is in third place in the Heisman according to the experts, but I would put him number one on my list if I were to make one. He was in the lead for eleven weeks until he had to play Stanford and the team could not handle the pressure. I think that Marcus Mariota has the most impressive stat in the FBS. He hasn't thrown an interception since last year. How many has Johnny Manziel thrown, I would have to do the math to figure that out. He is probably the fastest quarterback in college football which helps his chances too. If Winston or Manziel slip up. You should watch out for Mariota.
Bryce Petty is in fourth place putting up the biggest numbers I have ever seen. The Baylor Bears team is averaging over 60 points a game which is the highest in the FBS. HE has a major game this weekend against (10)Oklahoma State in Stillwater which is the host of College Gameday. Baylor's Petty has to play good if he wants to keep his Heisman hopes alive for the 2013 season.
In fifth place is AJ McCarron who is the best decision maker at the College level. He has lead Alabama to two straight National Championships. He has a real good shot at number three this season in his senior year. He has also quietly made himself a Heisman factor and he has the record to show for it. He will have to play great over the last couple games to try to put himself in New York. He has to play Auburn and potentially Missouri or South Carolina. Who will win it?
