J.T. Barrett was big-time in prime time last week and has two more showcase games in the next three weeks to boost his Heisman Trophy hopes.The Ohio State quarterback still has a long way to go to be a threat to Louisvilles Heisman front-runner Lamar Jackson, but if he is going to make a move now is the time. Barrett and the No. 2 Buckeyes are in the Saturday night slot on ABC again this week when they visit Penn State.Ohio State moves off the main stage the next week when it plays Northwestern at home before another prime-time game against No. 8 Nebraska, which could be a matchup of unbeaten teams.Against Wisconsin last week, Barrett ran for two touchdowns and threw what turned out to be the game-winner in overtime. Heisman voters like clutch and Barrett was at his best leading the Buckeyes from behind in the second half and to the win in OT.At a time when fans can watch a football game on their phones while pretending to pay attention to a kids soccer match, you might think playing nationally televised night games is not so important for a Heisman Trophy contender. But performing well in the spotlight still helps a lot.1. Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville (21 points)Last week: Jackson had an off night passing against Duke (13 for 26 for 181 yards) but his 144 yards and a touchdown on the ground made up for it. Even in a spotty performance Jackson has spectacular moments.This week: North Carolina State. The Wolfpack just lost to Clemson in overtime last week so Jackson can make a counter-point to Deshaun Watsons performance.2 (tie). Jake Browning, QB, Washington (8 points)Last week: Off.This week: Oregon State, which has the fifth-best defense in the Pac-12 at 5.27 yards allowed per play.2 (tie). Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson (8 points)Last week: Watson threw for a season-high 378 yards and the winning touchdown in overtime against North Carolina State. If not for a missed chip-shot field goal by the Wolfpack, the lasting memory of this game for Watson probably would have been the first pick-six of his career.This week: Off.3. J.T. Barrett, QB, Ohio State (4 points)Last week: Barrett passed for 226 yards and ran for 92 and two touchdowns against Wisconsin. He was 4 for 4 for 40 yards in overtime.This week: at Penn State, which has the eighth-best defense in the Big Ten at 5.34 yards allowed per play.4. Greg Ward Jr., QB, Houston (1 point)Last week: Ward had his best rushing game of the season in a wild win against Tulsa with 147 yards.This week: at SMU, which has the ninth-best defense in the American Athletic Conference at 5.48 yards allowed per play.FIVE MORE TO WATCH- Jabil Peppers, LB/QB/PR, Michigan. Peppers needs to follow up that eye-catching performance against Rutgers two weeks ago to keep momentum going. Good time to play Illinois.- Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State. Of all those high-profile running backs that were getting Heisman hype in the preseason (Christian McCaffrey, Leonard Fournette, Nick Chubb), only Cook is still in the race.- Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego State. The senior has 1,111 yards rushing in six games and needs 1,014 more to break Wisconsin Heisman winner Ron Daynes NCAA career record of 6,397 yards.- Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma. Two early losses bumped Mayfield to the back of the Heisman line, but he is the third-highest rated passer in the nation (180.36).- Jalen Hurts, QB, Alabama. The freshmans numbers arent gaudy, but he has accounted for 17 touchdowns (nine passing, eight rushing) and being the quarterback of the best team in the country is worth something.---Poll panel: AP Heisman watch panel: National Writer Paul Newberry, Georgia; Sports Writer Stephen Hawkins, Texas; Sports Writer John Marshall, Arizona; Sports Writer Joedy McCreary, North Carolina; Sports Writer Eric Olson, Nebraska; Sports Writer Steve Megargee, Tennessee; College Football Writer Ralph D.

The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season. "It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said. Miguel Layun Jersey . The quest begins with what is supposed to be an easy one, although Germany has traditionally been a stubborn opponent to Canadian teams at international tournaments.Scottish Cup holders Inverness CT were dumped out of the competition as they lost 2-1 to Hibernian at the Tulloch Caledonian stadium in the quarter-final replay. On-loan Celtic striker Tony Stokes scored twice in five minutes to set up the victory and although Iain Vigurs pulled a goal back late in the match, the visitors held on to secure a semi-final against Dundee United.Hibs started the match purposely as they looked to bounce back from Sundays League Cup final defeat to Ross County, and they limited the home side to a couple of long range shots which both failed to hit the target. At the other end of the pitch Jason Cummings sent a shot from just outside the box wide of the post on 12 minutes after John McGinn did well to create the spaceBut the visitors opened the scoring on 36 minutes when Lewis Stevenson delivered a low ball across the box and Stokes crashed his shot past Owain Fon Williams.And the Irishman doubled the advantage when he struck from close-range after Fon Williams could only parry a shot from Cummings. Scottish Cup holders Inverness CT were dumped out of the competition as they lost 2-1 to Hibernian.

Hibs goalkeeper Mark Oxley is suspended for the Cup semi-final Oxley was booked for time wasting - his second yellow card of the competition - and Stubbs said: He lost his contact lens.He has asked the referee to try and find it but the referee will probably hide behind the fact that Ox didnt say that.But it was obvious to everyone in the stands that he had a problem with his eye, and there was a problem with communication. Inverness CT manager John Hughes was annoyed by his sides defending whilst Hibernian boss Alan Stubbs was pleased to bounce back from their League Cup Fin We have got to a final, and now another semi-final, and we still have a chance of promotion.
