The odds are stacked against an Ohio State player winning the Buckeyes' first Heisman Trophy in 17 years.
A third of the way through the college football season, the oddsmakers have shifted the Heisman Trophy odds a bit while one familiar name still remains at the top of the list. In terms of the Buckeyes, it looks to be Kyle McCord or bust in terms of college football's most prestigious individual award. Even then, the quarterback still has plenty of making up to do to even be a Heisman finalist.
McCord (+3500) currently has the 10th-best odds to win the Heisman, with Devin Brown (+4786), Marvin Harrison Jr.
