It's true—no one wins the Heisman just because of what he did in September.
But several of college football's top players have already gotten off to a great start this month on the road to winning the sport's most famous award.
Through the first four weeks of the regular season, the game has had a running back revolution, which has many thinking this could be the first year a non-quarterback will take home the Heisman since former Alabama running back Mark Ingram did it in 2009.
But several signal-callers, including two stars in Texas, made a strong push in the early Heisman race last weekend with some outstanding performances in close conference victories.
