Heisman Watch 2022: Leading contenders, current odds and Drake Maye answers questions

There's a new betting favorite to win this year's Heisman Trophy.

Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker threw for at least three touchdown passes in the third straight game, as his performance in the Vols' 44-6 win over Kentucky gave him a slight edge over Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud in the race.

Still, Stroud isn't a slouch either. Though he was overshadowed by J.T. Tuimoloau's defensive performance and Ohio State's running backs that combined for three rushing scores in a victory over Penn State, Stroud maintained his FBS lead in touchdown passes (29) and didn't turn the ball over.
