Yesterday's news:
Running backs for the Heisman.
Today's story:
Unheralded quarterbacks for the Heisman.
Much was made of all the fine running backs in contention for the Heisman: Arkansas' Darren McFadden, West Virginia's Steve Slaton, Michigan's Mike Hart, Rutgers Ray Rice, Boise State's Ian Johnson. Now that all five teams have losses (Michigan and Arkansas have two losses), the focus has shifted to Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson and Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan.
Though both QBs were highly regarded entering the season, they are now front-running Heisman contenders thanks to their teams' unblemished records and top 10 rankings.
