In Week 9, the Heisman race saw a dramatic shift as Miami quarterback Darian Mensah became the betting favorite, while Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith fell to second after a loss to USC. However, the Heisman of the Week was awarded to South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers, who delivered a standout performance against Oklahoma. Sellers completed 19 of 24 passes for 301 yards and three touchdowns, while rushing for 101 yards and two scores.
His three-game winning streak includes victories over Florida, Tennessee, and Oklahoma, with the Gamecocks gaining 521 yards against the Sooners' defense. Despite two interceptions, Sellers' athleticism and playmaking ability were on full display, earning him the week's top honor.
