Trevor Lawrence, who had been the leader the entire season up to this point, has fallen to +225. No other player in the country is even close.

This is really unfortunate for Trevor Lawrence, but it’s simply the reality of playing college football during a global pandemic.
He contracted coronavirus, and he’ll miss two games. He already didn’t play against Boston College, and Dabo Swinney ruled him out against Notre Dame.
Obviously, it’s going to be hard to win the Heisman when you miss the most important regular season game of the year.

Having said that, Fields and Jones are balling out right now, and both of them look so damn good. Jones had Alabama’s offense cooking, and Fields looks unstoppable for OSU.
Both of them are legit stars, and they’re both clearly moving the needle in a major way.
