1. Kenneth Walker should be a Heisman candidate.

FARRELL'S TAKE: FACT. Kenneth Walker leads the nation in rushing with nearly 500 yards in only three games and Michigan State is handling business so let’s get him some Heisman love. The former Wake Forest standout has been amazing for the Spartans and this is a team to be reckoned with. I was very wrong when I said Michigan State had no chance to make a bowl game.

2. Emory Jones has earned the starting job for good.

FARRELL'S TAKE: FICTION. Anthony Richardson is too talented to sit on the bench despite how Emory Jones handled business for the most part against Alabama. Dan Mullen likes seniority, but the Gators have a great 1-2 punch here and I think this job is still open.

3. Clemson fans should be worried about DJ Uiagalelei.

FARRELL'S TAKE: FACT. You can blame the play calling and the offensive line all you want but D.J. Uiagalelei is thinking too much and not letting it fly. He’s playing way too tight and they need to figure something out and quickly.

I’m not saying bench him at all, but the offensive gameplan needs to change and allow him some easier completions. He need a massive boost of confidence.
