Quarterbacks have won every Heisman Trophy in this decade; the last running back to win the award was Ron Dayne in 1999. Is 2005 the year a RB finally reclaims the trophy? Here's a look at 10 Heisman-hopeful backs:
10. Marshawn Lynch, Soph., Cal
2004 stats: 71 carries, 628 yards (52.3 ypg), 8 TDs, 8.9 yards per carry
Ignore Lynch's low yards-per-game numbers (he was, after all, stuck behind J.J. Arrington as a freshman) and drool over his absurd per-carry average (8.85). Lynch could be on the verge of a mammoth sophomore season for the Bears.
