They have taken two of the most interesting paths to superstardom in recent memory. One never started a game until this season, yet was already responsible for a national championship. The other was a Texas high school legend who never panned out at Texas A&M before finding himself at Oklahoma, replacing a Heisman Trophy winner. And before he ever got on the field this year, was a top-10 MLB draft pick who signed for $4.66 million on the condition he could play football this season.
And now, three weeks into the season, Tua Tagovailoa and Oklahoma's Kyler Murray have taken over college football, becoming Heisman front-runners and keeping their teams on the path to the playoff.
