“At this point in college football, you tell me who the frontrunner is? We don’t have frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy. So by default, you have to look at who is the most physically talented player in the country. And without a doubt, Darren McFadden, pound for pound, is the most talented player in college football. Despite the two losses, Darren McFadden should still be the Heisman frontrunner at this point in the season.”
