KNOWSHON MORENO, UGA, RB
The sophomore running back from the University of Georgia has been a sensation since the minute he landed in Athens from Middletown, New Jersey in the Summer of 2006. Although he was held under 100 yards in last week's 14-7 victory over South Carolina, look for this energetic back to finish strong and remain in Heisman contention.
TIM TEBOW, UF, QB
This returning Heisman Trophy winner became the first college football player to run and pass for 20 touchdowns in a season and was the first Sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. This year, Tebow returns to lead what many believe is a team that will not only challenge UGA for the SEC Championship, but also the National Title.
CHASE DANIEL, MU, QB
This Senior QB from Southlake, Texas has already thrown 10 TD's in 2008 and maintains an impressive 197.48 QB rating. In last week's 69-17 blowout win over Nevada, Daniel threw for 405 yards and 4 touchdown passes. Say what you will about Missouri's schedule, this guy is one exciting player to watch. As the Big 12’s reigning offensive player of the year, Daniel returns for his final season at Missouri, hoping to lead the team to a Big 12 Championship and a BCS Bowl bid. Daniel's 4th place finish in last year's Heisman voting placed him as the first Heisman finalist in Missouri Tigers' history.
TODD REESING, KU, QB
Boston College fans should like this gritty, undersized QB from the University of Kansas due to his intelligence, short stature, and unique play making ability. Not only is Reesing a bright student (he wants to pursue a career in economics after graduation), he also has a great sense of humor. Clearly, though, making people laugh won't get you an invite to the Downtown Athletic Club in December. Fortunately for Reesing, he's got the strong arm and quick feet that just might get him the nod.
MARK SANCHEZ, USC, QB
After he injured his thumb early in the 2007 season, Sanchez found himself as the back-up to Senior John David Booty. Thus year, Sanchez takes the reigns of the best offensive team in the country and has the benefit of Super Coach Pete Carroll at his disposal. Last week's much anticipated match-up against Ohio Sate was supposed to be one for the ages, but the Buckeyes wilted in the California sun and Sanchez had his way, throwing 4 touchdowns en route to a blow out victory.
Watch List: Matthew Stafford, UGA; Sam Bradford, Oklahoma.
