Could Sean Clifford win Heisman? It's not such a crazy notion

ALTOONA, Pa. -- There is a path for Sean Clifford to not only remain in Heisman Trophy contention for much of the season, but even to become one of the potential frontrunners here before too long.

Yes, the same Sean Clifford who entered the season as Penn State's biggest wild card.

With the Nittany Lions now ranked No. 4, and with Clifford coming off a career-high 401 yards passing against Villanova, the senior quarterback is now one of the leading Heisman candidates, according to betting odds.

Here's how VegasInsider breaks down the race after four weeks:

QB Matt Corral, Ole Miss -- +155

QB Bryce Young, Alabama -- +185

QB Desmond Ridder, Cincinnati -- +1600

QB Spencer Rattler, Oklahoma -- +3000

RB TreVeyon Henderson, Ohio State -- +3500

QB Sean Clifford, Penn State -- +4000

Also at +400 are Oregon RB C.
