Heisman Watch is a look at 2010 Heisman Trophy candidates. It is not intended to serve as an opinion piece about who should win, instead it's intended to be a gauge of how all voters across the country seem to be leaning.
The Front-Runner
Cam Newton, Auburn, QB
Last week: Completed 12 of his 15 pass attempts for 148 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns, leading Auburn to 49 points and yet another victory.
Remaining: Just the Iron Bowl and the SEC championship. That's two high-profile games where he can cement his status as the leader of the pack.
Chances: He's second in passing efficiency, fourth in rushing yards and tied for first in rushing touchdowns in the entire nation. He's passed for more than 2,000 yards and rushed for more than 1,200, and still has two games to go. He's the quarterback of an 11-0 team -- one that lost five conference games last season without him. What do you think Newton's chances of winning the Heisman Trophy are? If voters concentrate simply on on-field performance in 2010, there's no question Newton will win. Will they? We'll see in a few weeks.
