TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Dalvin Cook did not mince words when asked where he feels he should stand in the Heisman Trophy race. The Florida State sophomore thinks he should win it.
"I feel like I'm one of the great running backs in collegiate football," Cook said.
Those comments came Saturday after Cook's latest 100-yard performance, his sixth in nine games this season. For the year, he's rushed 170 times for 1,369 yards and 14 touchdowns while adding another 202 yards and a score as a receiver.
Cook was sixth on ESPN.com's latest Heisman Watch, garnering only one third-place, fourth-place and two fifth-place votes and was soundly trailing the six players in front of him.
