Congratulations to everyone who is sick of the Heisman going to quarterbacks. This is the race you’ve been waiting for.
After Vanderbilt stunned Alabama and newly-minted favorite Jalen Milroe last week, Boise State tailback Ashton Jeanty (+200) has taken over with the best odds to win the Heisman any player has held this season. Right behind the NCAA’s leading rusher is Colorado’s Travis Hunter (+300), and not too much further down is Ohio State freshman wideout Jeremiah Smith.

In the meantime, here’s were the race stands.
