Week 11 saw Heisman candidates Kyler Murray and Will Grier continue to put on stat-stuffing shows, while frontrunner Tua Tagovailoa turned in a stat line that looked merely solid for the first time all year. Battling an ongoing knee injury, Tagovailoa put up less than stellar numbers than usual before exiting the game with an apparent quad injury. Washington State's Gardner Minshew and UCF's McKenzie Milton re-entered Heisman talks after both threw two touchdown passes and added another on the ground.
Here's how the top five Heisman candidates fared in Week 11:
This week: 14 of 21, 164 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT in win over Mississippi State
Season stats: 2,525 yards, 28 TD, 2 INT
Alabama didn't run up the score as much as usual, but the defense helped lead the Crimson Tide to a 24–0 shutout of Mississippi State.
