2013 MEP'S HEISMAN PREVIEW! (1-5)!

2013 MEP’S HEISMAN PREVIEW! (1-5)

1- Johnny Manziel - QB - TAMU

The reigning Heisman Trophy Winner Johnny Football is back and could actually be in line for a better season than last year when you consider he was a freshman in his first year with the O they run at TAMU. If he keeps himself out of trouble and finds a way to put up big #'rs again expect him to be in the mix.

Best Case: Finishes 2nd in the Heisman voting
Worst Case: Is playing in the CFL by October

2- A.J. McCarron - QB - Alabama

The All-American leader of the Bama Dynasty is back for a chance at a 3rd straight National Title and he has the team around him to do that. If McCarron can navigate the Aggies in week 2 then the schedule opens up for Bama to finish in contention for the Title again.

Best Case: Heisman Trophy Winner
Worst Case: Bama finishes 9-3 and people call him Greg McElroy 2.0

3- Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Louisville

MEP'S fav Teddy Bridge should have the schedule and the team around him to be on this list all year. The likely #2 pick in the NFL draft in 2014 should run a muck on the AAC.

Best Case: Heisman Trophy Winner
Worst Case: A few early season losses keep him from the spotlight

4- Braxton Miller - QB - tOhio State

In Urban Meyer's spread O the QB is the star and Miller has a chance to put up Tim Tebow style #'rs given the O and the lack of quality opponents on the Buckeyes schedule in 2013.

Best Case: Heisman Trophy Winner
Worst Case: Miller becomes friends with the local tattoo places

5- Jordan Lynch - QB - NIU

Most NIU fans expected Lynch to be a decent running QB but no one could predict how well he would throw the ball as he did in 2012. If the Huskies can run the table and Lynch keeps his stats near what they were last year, look for him to be in New York for the ceremony.

Best Case: Invited to the Heisman Ceremony
Worst Case: NIU goes 8-4 and Lynch takes a big dip in stats

2013 MEP'S HEISMAN PREVIEW! (6-10)!

2013 MEP’S HEISMAN PREVIEW! (6-10)

6- Tahj Boyd - QB - Clemson
The star of the ACC gets his old pal Sammy Watkins going at full strength this year and with an early season showcase vs UGGA he has to be ready to go from the start.

Best Case - Heisman Trophy Winner
Worst Case - 7-5 Clemson style season happens like it seems to every few years

7- De'Anthony Thomas - RB/WR/KR/PR - Oregon
The do it all Black Mamba for the Ducks should continue to light up scoreboards from Eugene to Charlottesville (ugh). I expect Thomas to have a major say in if the Ducks contend for a National Title.

Best Case - Invited to Heisman Ceremony
Worst Case - Arrested for smoking too much pot like other fast Ducks have in the past

8- Taylor Martinez - QB - Nebraska
He is still at Nebraska? Now we all know he has worked on throwing less like a fairy over the years and his speed looks a lot better in the slow ass shit B1G. T Magic has a chance to make B Thorsen's Fall an enjoyable one this year.

Best Case - Invited to Heisman Ceremony
Worst Case - Benched for throwing like a fairy

9- JaDaveon Clowney - DE - South Carolina
This guy is fun to watch and his hit on that poor schmuck of a Wolverine last year was a fun one to replay. I expect him to stay in this race if So Carolina stays in the National Title hunt.

Best Case - Invited to Heisman Ceremony
Worst Case - Triple teamed all year and isn't able to destroy dudes like he is meant to

10- Marcus Mariota - QB - Oregon
The conductor of the Quack Attack and just a RS Soph this Mariota kid should put up crazy #'rs. He will be the key to the Ducks having a chance to win the PAC 12 and contend for a National Title.

Best Case - Snubbed for the Heisman Ceremony
Worst Case - Worse stats than last year
