Ashton Jeanty was effectively helpless in watching a big chunk of his edge in the Heisman Trophy race evaporate over the weekend. With Boise State (5-1) and its star running back idle in Week 8, Miami quarterback Cam Ward took advantage by throwing for 319 yards and fourth touchdowns in a 52-45 victory at Louisville. The sixth-ranked Hurricanes improved to 7-0, and Ward saw his Heisman Trophy odds slashed from +650 to +250 by DraftKings. Jeanty is still the +220 favorite, but lengthened from +160 despite not playing. Last week, Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel had the second-shortest odds at +400.
