Matt Leinart

Senior quarterback

Southern Cal

Last week: Went 23-for-39 for 315 yards and three touchdown passes, one interception, sacked once

Was a little off early on as the Trojans were down against Oregon but that doesn't mean much in terms of coming back and winning.

Reggie Bush

Junior running back

Southern Cal

Last week: Rushed 20 times for 122 yards and one touchdown

MSU's Drew Stanton said the Heisman should pretty much go to Bush.

Vince Young

Junior quarterback

Texas

Last week: Went 8-for-14 for 101 yards, one interception, also rushed for a total of 84 yards

Should be an offensive show when the Longhorns meet Missouri, which is third in rushing offense.

DARKHORSE

Laurence Maroney

Junior running back

Minnesota

Last week: Rushed 46 times for 217 yards, both career highs, also had five receptions for 59 yards, accounted for 333 all-purpose yards

Had a field day in the Golden Gophers' double overtime win.
