Updated odds and performances for C.J. Stroud and other Heisman contenders after Week 3

It’s not a stretch to say that the Heisman Trophy is the most coveted individual award in all of American sports. Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud is one of the frontrunners to win the bronze statue, and we’ll be following along his journey all season.

It doesn’t take much to go from favorite to afterthought in today’s game, and one performance can make or break a Heisman campaign. We’ve seen it more than once where a guy is the run-away favorite only to have a bad outing or two and get lost in all the other stats and offensive abilities of others in today’s day and age.
