5 Heisman Trophy candidates after Week 11

Penn State v Ohio State
Saquon Barkley

#3 Jonathan Taylor, running back

Wisconsin v Indiana
Jonathan Taylor

Jonathan Taylor has been in the shadow of Saquon Barkley for much of this season as the Big Ten conference's top running back. But with Wisconsin controlling their own destiny, Taylor, one of the top freshmen running backs that the Badgers have had in years, can no longer be ignored -- he was initially not in the Big Ten discussion for best running back, not in the Big Ten discussion for best player, not in the national discussion for best running back, and not even in the national discussion for best player, also known as the Heisman Trophy winner.

Taylor has rushed for 1,525 yards on 219 carries with 12 touchdowns, giving him a yards per carry average of 7.0, which is the second-best among Power Five conference running backs with over 140 carries to only the running back listed on the next slide.

Yes, Wisconsin's defence gets a lot of the attention as far as how good the team is, and deservedly so, but Taylor can no longer be slept on.
