Heisman odds watch 2014: Golson, Knight gain on Mariota

The top two remain the same, but there’s plenty of shifting below that after a busy Week 3.

Matt Cashore-USA TODAY Sports

Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota and Georgia running back Todd Gurley are still the two favorites for the Heisman trophy, but things are getting less and less clear after that, via Bovada.

Jameis Winston’s stock continues to fall, but the reigning Heisman winner will have a big opportunity to showcase himself against Clemson this week. Winston was passed by Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson and Texas A&M quarterback Kenny Hill, two of the early season’s strongest performers, while Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight and Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty are right behind.

Two new names are on the board: BYU quarterback Taysom Hill, at 20/1, and Alabama’s Amari Cooper, who enters as the highest receiver on the list at 33/1. Among the big droppers? UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley and Miami running back Duke Johnson. Bowling Green quarterback Matt Johnson, who suffered a season-ending injury earlier in the month, is the only name taken off the board.
