A Jayhawk as a Heisman candidate? Sure, why not?
James Sims is a stud and he deserves to be on this list. Sims led the league as the most productive rusher, averaging 112.56 yards per game and eclipsing Oklahoma State running back Joseph Randle, who averaged 109 yards per game.
With Jake Heaps (presumably) at quarterback, Sims may see a decrease in carries, but he also may see his yards-per-carry average increase.
If you can get the running game going, the passing game will open up. And if the passing game opens up, Sims may not carry the ball as much, but he may have bigger spaces to run through as the defense drops back into pass coverage.
