"The Dark Horse: Duke Johnson, RB, Miami

With 100-plus rushing yards for Duke Johnson in each of his last five games and an upcoming battle for Miami against no. 2 Florida State, this is the perfect time to spotlight his Heisman campaign, which is predicated first and foremost on consistency. Johnson has rushed for at least 90 yards and 4.5 yards per carry in every game this season, and he almost always manages to find the end zone, hitting pay dirt in every game but the season opener. He’s also an eminently dependable (if woefully underutilized) receiver.

Factor in the feel-good story of Johnson recovering from a broken ankle, and he actually becomes one of the most impressive candidates in this year’s field. A characteristically excellent performance in an upset over the Noles would go a long way toward securing Johnson an invitation to New York."
