NEW YORK (AP) – Good thing the Heisman Trophy isn’t given out until December.
In just a few hours on another topsy-turvy Saturday in college football, just about everyone whose name has been mentioned in the same breadth as the famous bronze statue this season saw their stock go soaring or plummeting, often along with their teams’ fortunes.
Taylor Martinez and Denard Robinson scampered onto the Heisman scene with their electrifying ability to run, but both quarterbacks were standing still on the sidelines as their teams fell. Martinez was ineffective in No. 5 Nebraska’s 20-13 loss to Texas, while Robinson got banged up during the third quarter and didn’t return in Michigan’s 38-28 loss to No. 15 Iowa.
Ryan Mallett could commiserate. The gunslinger was knocked out of No. 12 Arkansas’ 65-43 loss to seventh-ranked Auburn after taking a blow to the head in the first half.
