Top of the Heisman Standings Change; Alabama Running Back Tops List over LSU's Fournette

The endings to the Saturday college football games not only change the standings in the rankings, but also it changed the leaders in the Heisman race.

Going into Saturday's games, LSU running back Leonard Fournette was the Heisman front runner averaging almost 200 yards a game, followed by TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin.

But there was a change in the Heisman race after both Fournette and Boykin both had their worst games of the season which allowed Derrick Henry of Alabama to take over first place.

Henry had over 200 yards rushing and three touchdowns in Alabama's 30-16 victory over LSU.

Meanwhile in the same game, Fournette only had 31 yards rushing and one touchdown in the loss.

Most experts feel that Fournette still has a chance to win the award because he has a few more chances to make-up for his bad games because he has more high profile games than Henry and Boykin.

According to ESPN, here are the leaders for the Heisman as of Tuesday.
