No. 2: Case Keenum, QB, Houston
2009 numbers: Led the nation in total offense for the second consecutive season with 416.36 yards per game. He also led the nation with 5,671 passing yards.
Making the case for Keenum: Keenum was fun to watch last year because of his ability to lead his team back in almost any situation. He started to gain national recognition after come-from-behind wins against Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, but some key mistakes during the conference season and at the end of the year eliminated his name from Heisman contention. However, he’ll be on the watch list again this year especially with all of his offensive weapons returning. Keenum completed 70.2 percent of his passes and threw 44 touchdowns.
