LEADING MEN

Crouch didn’t do anything to hurt his Heisman chances, but the Cornhuskers improving to 11-0 definitely helps.

KEN DORSEY
Quarterback, Miami
If Dorsey’s hideous four-interception performance doesn’t boot him from the Heisman race, then nothing will.

REX GROSSMAN
Quarterback, Florida
Grossman’s school-record ninth straight 300-yard game keeps his campaign on track. So does a win over South Carolina.
