What Timanus says

“Justin Fields is closing fast in the Heisman race. The Ohio State quarterback vaulted into second place in this week’s USA TODAY Network survey.”

“Fields made a big move thanks to another ultra-efficient passing day in the Buckeyes’ win against Rutgers. Through three games, he has thrown as many touchdown passes, 11, as incompletions. He was listed second by over half of the 22 survey participants who work for USA TODAY Network properties and have official Heisman votes.”
