Does Ohio State Have Too Many Candidates to Win 2015 Heisman Trophy?

When the Ohio State Buckeyes opened the season in a prime-time matchup against the Virginia Tech Hokies on Labor Day, the first drive looked like the Cardale Jones Show.

The talented junior quarterback accounted for all 64 yards on the opening series for the offense, busting off a run of 16 yards and passes of 20 and 24 yards—the latter of which was a back-footed touchdown to Curtis Samuel.

Ohio State's second drive showcased the otherworldly abilities of Ezekiel Elliott.

The 6'0", 225-pound running back took his first handoff of the game, wiggled through a small hole, broke a tackle and was celebrating in the end zone 80 yards later.
