With just a few weeks left, Collin Klein has a strong lead in the Heisman race and will have to seriously underachieve over his last two games to lose it. The Wildcats' quarterback is being recognized for his leadership skills as well as his impressive output. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said, “They respond to him, not only by what he does, but also what he addresses them about in the areas other than just football... I think Collin has manifested a leadership style that encompasses far more than just football.” Johnny Manziel is really the only other player that has a chance at winning the trophy, but he will get less credit for facing weak competition in his last two games and Klein must falter for Johnny Football to have a chance. Of course, Manziel soared in the Heisman polls after he led Texas A&M to an upset over previous number one Alabama.

Manziel Family Working Hard to Trademark “Johnny Football”
John David Mercer-US PRESSWIRE
The legend of Johnny Manziel continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Manziel’s meteoric rise from being a three-star recruit to potential Heisman finalist is close to outdoing that of the great Tim Tebow, in my opinion.
Manziel did what some felt couldn’t be done, by driving the Alabama defense crazy and giving them fits. With that, Texas A&...
