Ranking the Heisman Candidates after Week 6
Matt Corral puts Ole Miss on his back
Marvin Gentry-USA TODAY Sports
Matt Corral bounced back from a middling performance against Alabama to post his best performance of the season, leading Ole Miss to a thrilling win over No. 13 Arkansas. It looked like Alabama’s Bryce Young separated himself from Corral after the Crimson Tide’s win over Ole Miss. However, Young and Alabama lost at unranked Texas A&M over the weekend, further complicating the Heisman race.
