Watching the Heisman: Week 3

Here is the Watching the Heisman for week 3:

10. (Last Week: 10) Patrick Peterson- Peterson continued his stellar play with two interceptions against Mississippi State.  Unfortunately for his candidacy, he is going to need to put up gaudy numbers every week to stay in the rankings. 
9. (Last Week: 5) Cameron Newton- Newton had another up-and-down performance against Clemson but he did lead Auburn to a big 2nd half rally.  Newton and the Tigers need to win against Auburn this weekend to maintain their high rankings.
8. (Last Week: 9) Mark Ingram- Ingram has really only played a half of football this year, but what a half it was.  He rushed for 151 yards on just 9 carries against Duke.  He probably can't repeat due to his early season injury, but the defending champion has made a statement that he is not to be forgotten.
7. (Last Week: 8) LaMichael James- For some reason I don't like the Oregon Ducks and have avoided giving them credit for as long as possible.  However, it is impossible to ignore how explosive James has been so far this season. In 2 games this year, James has rushed 30 times for over 10 yards per carry.
6. (Last Week: 7) Andy Dalton- The Horned Frogs dominated Baylor and Dalton looked great in the victory. TCU's schedule is much easier from here on out and as long as they keep winning, Dalton will remain a Heisman contender. 
5. (Last Week: 6) Andrew Luck- Luck played 8 possessions against Wake Forest and led the Cardinals to 8 touchdowns.  That is as much as a quarterback can be asked to do.  The Pac-10 race is incredibly tight and Luck has a chance to push himself into the upper echelon of quarterbacks with some wins. 
4. (Last Week: 4) Ryan Mallet- Round 1 of the Razorbacks' murderer's row is complete and Mallet came out of Athens looking brilliant.  If he can lead Arkansas to an upset of Alabama this weekend, Mallet will become the new front runner in the Heisman race.
3. (Last Week: 3) Denard Robinson- Robinson played the whole game last weekend due to Michigan's awful defense.  However, this move actually enhanced his Heisman prospects because he gained over 350 yards of offense.  Robinson needs a signature win over a better opponent than Notre Dame to really enhance his candidacy. 
2. (Last Week: 2) Kellen Moore- Moore did exactly what he had to do by hanging huge numbers on Wyoming.  This weekend game against Oregon State is Moore's best remaining chance to impress the voters against a quality opponent. 
1. (Last Week: 1) Terrell Pryor- Pryor was unusually accurate against Ohio, breaking the Buckeyes consecutive completions record with 16.  Ohio State is beginning the easiest part of its schedule and Pryor needs to pad his numbers against the inferior competition he was be facing.
