Heisman Trophy 2013: Complete List of Finalists Announced

Northern Illinois’ Lynch has “only” 2,676 yards and 23 scores through the air, but as one of the most dynamic dual-threat quarterbacks in America, he has posted another 1,881 yards and 22 touchdowns rushing.

He was beginning to gain serious steam, but a loss in the MAC championship hurt his stock.

For McCarron, who has enjoyed such a productive collegiate career, this is a bit of a “lifetime-achievement” honor, although 2,676 yards, 26 touchdowns, just five interceptions and an 11-1 record is quite impressive.

Auburn running back Tre Mason, who will face Winston in the national championship game, carved out 1,621 yards and 22 touchdowns, and was especially big in the crucial games, combining for 468 on the ground against Alabama and Missouri.  

Finally, we have Andre Williams, who has flown somewhat under the radar at Boston College but deserves to be considered for this honor after leading the country in carries (329) and rushing yards (2,102).
