Heisman Watch: Will Julian Sayin's injury ultimately derail Jeremiah Smith's Heisman hopes?

Could the player who has the biggest impact in the Heisman Trophy race over the final month of the season be someone who isn't in the running for the award? Over the first eight weeks of the season, Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith was the clear favorite for the Heisman. It was easy to see why. Smith was dominant and setting Big Ten records on a near-weekly basis. Smith was still the betting favorite after Ohio State's bye week and ahead of Week 9. But after the Buckeyes lost 30-18 to USC , Smith's odds got a lot longer.
