2011 Heisman Trophy Pre Season Predictions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nLANDRY JONES, QB, Oklahoma<\/h3>\n
Most people\u2019s default pick for the 2011 Heisman Trophy is Andrew Luck from Stanford, the utopian NFL quarterback prospect who shockingly returned for his senior season. But Jones \u2013 who up until last year lived in Sam Bradford\u2019s shadow \u2013 has something significant that Luck doesn\u2019t: an unbelievable receiver corps. Jones\u2019s top target Ryan Broyles is probably the best wideout in the nation and sophomore Kenny Stills set Oklahoma receiving records in 2010.<\/p>\n
Jones put up a downright silly 4,718 yards and 38 TDs as a soph last season, and is poised to at least match that in \u201911. Luck might be the best pure NFL prospect, and Alabama RB Trent Richardson must carry the offense of a title-calibre SEC team, but Jones is my pick to hoist the hardware this season.<\/p>\n
TRENT RICHARDSON, RB, Alabama<\/h3>\n
The Crimson Tide\u2019s Mark Ingram won the award at the RB position in 2009; what is truly scary is that many believe Richardson is better than Ingram. He is a beast that can be the bell-cow for an elite team in the nation\u2019s toughest conference. Alabama\u2019s QB situation is somewhat unsettled, which means the Tide will lean on Richardson even more. Alabama also rolls out perhaps the best offensive line in America, which will help to juice Richardson\u2019s sure-to-be-impressive stats.<\/p>\n
He is a rare talent that has the size, speed and vision to be an every-down RB in the pros, but we will get to enjoy him for one more year at the collegiate level first.<\/p>\n
ANDREW LUCK, QB, Stanford<\/h3>\n
Every thing that a coach or scout would look for in an elite signal-caller, Luck brings in spades. He single-handedly greatly increases Stanford\u2019s chance of success in 2011, even with fantastic head coach Jim Harbaugh leaving for the NFL. The Cardinal isn\u2019t as stacked as Oklahoma or Alabama, however, and Luck has to clash with another elite Pac-12 team in Oregon on Nov. 12.<\/p>\n
Most people probably see Luck as a better pound-for-pound QB than Landry Jones, but Jones has the supporting cast to make the ascent easier. <\/p>\n
LaMICHAEL JAMES, RB, Oregon<\/h3>\n
The speediest back in the NCAA was a Heisman finalist last season, where he amassed 1,731 yards and 21 majors. Even with highly touted underclassmen like Lache Seastrunk and DeAnthony Thomas available to spell James (though Thomas might redshirt, as the Ducks also have waterbug Kenjon Barner) James will have crazy stats in what is likely the fastest offense in the nation.<\/p>\n
Oregon is also likely the best team in a very good Pac-12 conference, which never hurts.<\/p>\n
KELLEN MOORE, QB, Boise State<\/h3>\n
The ruthlessly efficient Moore is back once again in 2011, leading a Broncos team that seems to always be the best non-AQ (automatic BCS qualifying) squad. In fact, this year will see Moore become the career FBS leader in wins as a starter \u2013 he\u2019s been ripping up the competition since 2008.<\/p>\n
The southpaw was also a Heisman finalist in 2010 and if there weren\u2019t established big dogs like Jones and Luck in front of him, he\u2019d be a still more appealing option. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n
Darkhorse: TAYLOR MARTINEZ, QB, Nebraska<\/h3>\n
The first five games of last year, Martinez was shocking everyone and his Cornhuskers were steamrolling the competition. He set a Huskers record for QB rush yards in a game (yes, this is a program that has featured Tommie Frazier and Heisman-winner Eric Crouch under center) with 241 versus Kansas St. on national TV.<\/p>\n
Martinez was injured in the second half of the season though and was a shadow of his former self. If he can re-capture the magic, Nebraska is the Big Ten favorite and could be both in a BCS bowl and have a pivot in the Heisman discussion.<\/p>\n
