Miami’s Carson Beck joins Oregon’s Dante Moore atop Heisman race

The Miami Hurricanes have knocked off three ranked opponents through their first five games of the season, helping quarterback Carson Beck vault to the forefront of the Heisman Trophy race.A co-favorite at one point earlier this season, Beck drifted back a few spots before leading a convincing win Saturday night at No. 18 Florida State. In his first road game as a Hurricane, Beck threw four touchdowns in the 28-22 victory.The primetime win over an in-state rival saw Beck’s Heisman odds trimmed from +1200 to +500 at BetMGM. That moved him ahead of Oregon quarterback Dante Moore, who had emerged as the latest in a growing list of favorites at +750 last week. He is now +700, ahead of Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson and Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith at +800.Smith, who has the shortest odds among non-quarterbacks by a wide margin, opened at +1300 but has seen his odds steadily shorten while catching 35 passes for 463 yards and six touchdowns through the top-ranked Buckeyes’ 5-0 start.Meanwhile, DraftKings is still offering Moore as the slight +600 favorite ahead of Beck (+650) and Simpson (+700), with Smith a bit further back at +1000.HEISMAN TROPHY ODDS*PLAYER, POS, TEAM, OPEN, WEEK 6, CURRENTCarson Beck, QB, Miami (+2000), (+900), (+500)Dante Moore, QB, Oregon (+2000), (+750), (+700)Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama (+5500), (+1000), (+800)Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State (+1300), (+1000), (+800)Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana (+5500), (+1300), (+1300)Trinidad Chambliss, QB, Ole Miss (OFF), (+1500), (+1500)Julian Sayin, QB, Ohio State (+2000), (+1700), (+1500)Joey Aguilar, QB, Tennessee (+5000 Week 2), (+1300), (+2000)
