Week 12 of the college football season separated the boys from the men in the race for the Heisman Trophy, as Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud and Alabama quarterback Bryce Young put on a show for the ages.
Stroud had one of the most dominant first half performances of all time against a top 10 Michigan State team, while Young put Alabama on his back to defeat Arkansas. Stroud started the season as a dark-horse Heisman candidate. Now, he and Young are the top two contenders to take the trophy home.
