    Big Shift in FanDuel Heisman Odds After College Football's Wild Weekend

    Generational Boise State running back Austin Jeanty rocketed to the top of the Heisman leaderboard at FanDuel after a crazy weekend of upsets in college football. Jeanty earned the top spot after topping 1000 yards in less than 100 carries (1,031 yards in 95 attempts, 10.9-yard average, 16 touchdowns,) achieving that milestone in just five games.

    FanDuel has the 5-9, 215-pound powerhouse at +220, vaulting to the pole position after last week's favorite Jalen Milroe and Alabama fell to Vanderbilt in Nashville. The Bronco star raced for 186 yards and three touchdowns in BSU's 62-30 pasting of Utah State, needing only 13 carries in the first two quarters to do it. Jeanty broke loose for touchdown runs of 63 and 75 yards. It was the third time this season that he's sat out most or all of the second half.

    Second at +320 is sensational two-way standout Travis Hunter of Colorado. The Buffs were idle Saturday but they host current #20 Kansas State on Friday night, another potential showcase for college football's most versatile player, who leads his team in both receptions with 46 (561 yards, 6 TDs) and interceptions (two,  along with 15 tackles, a pass breakup and a forced fumble that won the Colorado State game.)

    Cameron Ward comes in at +450 after his fourth quarter heroics won the Miami Hurricanes another nail-biter. He rallied the Canes from 25 points down to beat the Cal Bears in Berkeley 39-38 in college football's nightcap, connecting with Elijah Arroyo for a 5-yard touchdown with 25 seconds to play.

    Milroe dropped from the odds-on favorite to +1000 at FanDuel, while Clemson's Cade Klubnik and Oregon's Dillon Gabriel are the longshots at +1300 and +1400.
