USA TODAY

The competition is about to ramp up for the front-runners in the race for college football’s most prestigious individual award. But for now, the field is headed by three prolific quarterbacks followed by a few potential challengers as the season nears the midpoint. Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts continues to lead the USA TODAY Sports Network Heisman survey followed by his former Alabama teammate Tua Tagovailoa and LSU’s Joe Burrow.

In the weekly survey of 21 official Heisman voters who work for USA TODAY Network properties, Hurts holds an 11-point advantage this week after a 14-point edge last week.
