WHICH PLAYER ARE AMONG THE FAVORITES TO WIN THE HEISMAN TROPHY?

Stanford senior running back Bryce Love goes into the season as the Heisman Trophy favorite after he finished second in last season’s voting to Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is now playing for the Cleveland Browns after being the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft.

Love rushed 263 times for 2,118 yards and 19 touchdowns last season, when he set an NCAA record with 13 runs of 50 or more yards.

The Cardinal play Southern Cal and Notre Dame in September, so Love will have an opportunity early in the season to impress voters against marquee opponents.
