HEISMAN HOPEFULS

Leeland McElroy, RB/Sr., Texas A&M: The senior running back sat out the game against SMU with an ankle sprain.

Tommie Frazier, QB/Sr., Nebraska: In Huskers’ 57-0 rout over Big Eight foe Missouri, Frazier ran for three touchdowns and passed for two. He also became the school’s career leader in touchdowns with 64, breaking Steve Taylor’s record of 62 from 1985-88.

Keyshawn Johnson, Sr./WR, USC: In Trojans’ 26-14 win, the senior receiver finished with 85 yards on nine receptions.

Eddie George, RB/Sr., Ohio State: In Buckeyes’ 27-16 win over Wisconsin, George accounted for three TDs, his longest a 51-yard run. He finished with 141 yards on 26 carries.

Warrick Dunn, RB/Jr., FSU: In Noles’ 72-13 win over Wake Forest, Dunn ran for more than 100 yards for the sixth straight game this year, gaining 112 yards on 11 carries. Dunn has gained 801 yards and averages 10.3 yards a carry.

Danny Wuerffel, QB, Florida: In Gators’ 48-38 thriller over Auburn, Wuerffel threw for 380 yards, including three touchdown passes.

Troy Davis, RB/So., Iowa State: In Cyclones’ 34-7 loss to Kansas, the sophomore might have taken himself out of the Heisman race with a poor showing. He was 80 yards below his nation-leading rushing average. Davis, a week after becoming the first sophomore in NCAA history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in his first five games, had 120 yards on 30 carries.

QUOTABLE
