2. Blake Corum

There was no bigger in the 2022 Heisman Trophy race from College Football Week 10 than Blake Corum of Michigan.

For the sixth consecutive game, Corum rushed for over 100 yards. He also scored two touchdowns and is basically in the top-5 of every major rushing category.

The numbers he’s putting up are right in line with what Derrick Henry and Mark Ingram did when they won the Heisman Trophy for Alabama, so it’s not that far-fetched.

Corum can’t afford any slip ups. He needs to have big days against Illinois and Nebraska. As long as gets over 100 yards in those games, and has a big game against Ohio State in a potential win for Michigan and I think Corum would be the guy.

If he puts together a performance similar to Hassan Haskins last season with over 150 yards and a few touchdowns, it would be hard to vote against him. Those are all big ifs but it feels like this Heisman Trophy race could go to the winner of Ohio State and Michigan.

Meaning Blake Corum or C.J. Stroud.
