Sayin has been the highest climber this season, as he leads the nation in completion rate (80.7), passer rating (197.1) and QBR (90.9). And his torrid pace as of late gives him just as good a chance at winning the Heisman as any player in the country.

Former Purdue tight end Max Klare is among the Buckeyes who will prove a challenge for an improving Boilermakers secondary.

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin has the highest odds to earn Heisman Trophy honors at +185. Indiana passer Fernando Mendoza owns the second-highest odds at +240, while Alabama signal-caller Ty Simpson sits at No. 3 with +450 odds.

As stated last week, Indiana has a smooth final month to the year. Indiana beat Maryland 55-10 and has its second back-to-back road games going to Penn State this weekend. Following Penn State, Indiana hosts Wisconsin, and ends at Purdue. Those three remaining teams are a combined 7-18.
