How Travis Hunter stacked up against Ashton Jeanty, Cam Ward

A look at how the top Heisman Trophy contenders, including two-way CU Buffs star Travis Hunter, played on Saturday:

Travis Hunter, Colorado WR/CB

Odds entering Saturday: -400

Numbers at Kansas: 8 receptions for 125 yards and 2 touchdowns; 7 tackles, 1 pass defended

Note: The odds are still very much in Hunter’s favor, even if his solid performance wasn’t enough to stop the Jayhawks in a 37-21 loss in Kansas City. Hunter hit the Heisman pose in the end zone after his second TD of the day and looked the part.

Ashton Jeanty, Boise State RB

Odds entering Saturday: +450

Numbers at Wyoming: 20 carries for 169 yards and a touchdown

Note: Jeanty’s stock is rising, but can he overcome the disadvantage of playing for a Group of Five team? He’s certainly doing everything right, eclipsing 2,000 yards rushing on the season in the Broncos’ 17-13 win.

Cam Ward, Miami QB

Odds entering Saturday: +1500

Numbers against Wake Forest: Completed 27 of 38 passes for 280 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 interception; ran in one TD

Note: Ward gave voters a lot to consider Saturday when he broke Bernie Kosar’s single-season Miami passing record, totaling 3,774 yards on 268 completions with at least two more games left to go. Kosar’s record (3,642 yards on 262) stood for 40 years.

Kurtis Rourke, Indiana QB

Odds entering Saturday: +3000
