Here is the Watching the Heisman for week 2:
10. (Last Week: 9) Patrick Patterson- Patterson led the way as LSU suffucated the Vanderbilt passing attack. He will need gaudier return statistics in order to remain a Heisman candidate.
9. (Last Week: NR) Marcus Lattimore- Lattimore is the first freshman on the board after his dominant performance against Georgia this weekend. He is already being hailed as the second coming of Adrian Peterson.
8. (Last Week: NR) Landry Jones- Jones helped himself tremendously with the Sooners' dominating win over Florida State last weekend. He played almost perfect and should have a very strong season.
7. (Last Week: 7) Andy Dalton- Dalton padded his stats in the Horned Frogs' 62-7 beat down of Tennessee Tech. As long as TCU keeps winning, Dalton will remain a serious Heisman candidate.
6. (Last Week: 6) Andrew Luck- Luck led his Cardinals to a blowout victory over UCLA in Los Angeles. If he continues at his torrid pace, he could be moving up this list in a couple weeks.
5. (Last Week: 5) Cameron Newton- Newton got his first big victory last Thursday in Starksville. Right now, Cam is the entire Auburn offense and is accumulating great stats for his campaign.
4. (Last Week: 4) Ryan Mallet- Mallet has racked up great numbers against inferior competition so far. This week's game at Georgia will reveal a lot about how the rest of Mallet's season will go.
3. (Last Week: NR) Denard Robinson- Last week I didn't want to rank Robinson. This week I'm worried I am ranking him too low. Robinson has stormed onto the scene and currently leads the nation in rushing.
2. (Last Week: 2) Kellen Moore- Moore didn't play last week and remains just behind Pryor in the race. After VT's loss, Moore's game against Oregon State in two weeks is crucial to his candidacy.
1. (Last Week: 1) Terrell Pryor- Pryor's numbers weren't fantastic but he led a strong win against a top-20 team. Marquee wins are the backbone of a Heisman campaign.
