Mizzou's Henry Josey is 6th in the nation right now in Rushing Yards with only 43 carries. However he is number One in Yards per carry and he is the only running back with over 10 yards a carry. I'm curious as to why no one is talking about him being a Heisman trophy contender. What do you think?

To keep up his avg per carry. It's a contest.

If he wins, Yost gives him a helmet sticker.

looking on the list I see 4 rb's that I consider better than Josey right now...

He is not a heisman finalsit, not hating though he has come through for us big time thus far. But in a year or to he’s got a decent shot of making it to NYC.
