7. RB Jonathan Dwyer, Jr., Georgia Tech
Last week: 18 rushes, 66 yards in a 30-27 victory over Clemson
Season: 25 rushes, 161 yards, 2 TDs
Heisman-o-meter: Clemson seemed to always have two tacklers on Dwyer whenever he tested the middle of the line, and perhaps that attention is why Dwyer's teammates had more success running the ball. On one play, Dwyer had an opening, but went down at the line on a shoestring tackle and pounded the ball in frustration, knowing he had missed an opportunity. Of course, Dwyer ranks 52nd in nation in rushing, and C.J. Spiller, who had a better all-around game, may deserve this spot on the list instead, but The Watch will stick with the Ramblin' Wrecker for at least one more week. He's just too good.
Up next: Saturday at No. 20 Miami
