With three of the preseason Heisman Trophy favorites — Florida’s Rex Grossman, Michigan State’s Charles Rogers and Oregon’s own Onterrio Smith — having fallen from the weekly tallies, it may seem like the trophy is going to land in the hands of Miami quarterback Ken Dorsey or Miami running back Willis McGahee.
