What a difference 358 yards makes. In just one week Penn State RB Saquon Barkley’s Heisman odds went from 12/1 to 2/1 as he now leads the field, according to Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.

Saquon Barkley (Penn State): 2/1 (last week: 12/1)

Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma): 7/2 (last week: 5/2)

Sam Darnold (USC): 8/1 (last week: 9/2)

Lamar Jackson (Louisville): 8/1 (last week: 5/1)

Mason Rudolph (Oklahoma State): 8/1 (last week: 3/1)

J.T. Barrett (Ohio State): 30/1 (last week: 30/1)

J.K. Dobbins (Ohio State): 30/1  (last week: 25/1)

While Dobbins is the Big 10’s leading rusher as of Week 4, Barkley remains the conference’s best chance to take home the Heisman Trophy after a decade drought. With 13 TDs and zero INTs on the season, Mayfield appears to be Barkley’s biggest competition.
