Leading Men

ERIC CROUCH

Quarterback, Nebraska

This was no stat-padding day, but it hardly mattered. Crouch caught the game-clinching touchdown against Oklahoma and that scores major style points.

Season: 149 carries, 798 yards, 14 TDs; 75 for 130, 1,088 yards, 7 TDs.

KEN DORSEY

Quarterback, Miami

Dorsey’s average game this season: 17 of 28 for 268 yards and two touchdowns. This wins a Heisman? Can’t see it at this point although the undefeated season helps.

Season: 100 for 168, 1,607 yards, 13 TDs.

Nextvs. Temple, Saturday

DeSHAUN FOSTER

Running back, UCLA

A big game in a loss might have saved Foster, but the damaging effects of a 77-yard effort will be felt for weeks to come in the minds of voters.

Season: 188 carries, 1,007 yards, 11 TDs.

Nextat No. 14 Washington State, Saturday

REX GROSSMAN

Quarterback, Florida

Grossman did what Foster didn’t: Sparkled when his team didn’t (although Florida did win). How can you ignore another 400-plus yard performance?

Season: 161 for 240, 2,636 yards, 24 TDs.

Nextvs. Vanderbilt, Saturday

JOEY HARRINGTON

Quarterback, Oregon

Ducks get back into BCS picture, but Harrington couldn’t do the same in Heisman race after 119-yard, no-touchdown performance.

Season: 143 for 245, 1,796 yards, 16 TDs.

Nextvs. Arizona State, Saturday
