LEADING MEN
ERIC CROUCH
Quarterback, Nebraska
Bad performances (Dorsey and Harrington) and a loss (Grossman) on Saturday can only help Crouch’s cause.
Season: 203 carries, 1,115 yards, 18 TDs; 105 of 189, 1,510 yards, 7 TDs.

KEN DORSEY
Quarterback, Miami
Hurricanes come up roses, but Dorsey is along for the ride. A 21-for-44 performance for a paltry 235 yards is the latest evidence.
Season: 184 for 319, 2,652 yards, 23 TDs.

REX GROSSMAN
Quarterback, Florida
Would have wrapped it up with a victory, but will voters see only another loss? Regardless, Grossman has the numbers that would win in virtually in any season.
Season: 259 for 395, 3,896 yards, 34 TDs.

JOEY HARRINGTON
Quarterback, Oregon
Blame it on the rain, but Harrington’s 104-yard effort probably helped his chances slip away. This award usually isn’t for career achievement.
Season: 186 for 322, 2,414 yards, 23 TDs.

ANTWAAN RANDLE EL
Quarterback, Indiana
If they really give this award to the “most outstanding college football player,” then Randle El gets it. Too bad they don’t.
Season: 188 carries, 964 yards, 8 TDs; 118 for 231, 1,664 yards, 9 TDs.
