The question entering the 2020 season on the Heisman front was who could catch Ohio State's Justin Fields and Clemson's Trevor Lawrence atop the oddsboard.

Now, it's who can catch Florida's Kyle Trask.

The 6-5 senior quarterback - one of our two preseason sleepers to take home the hardware - was 50-1 at one point during the offseason. Entering Week 14, he's currently the favorite and looking to tie the bow on a campaign that includes a whopping 2,810 yards and 34 passing touchdowns through just eight games.

LSU's Joe Burrow put up one of the gaudiest seasons you'll find en route to the award just a season ago, seemingly entering unchartered territory as one of college football's GOATs.

Can someone not named Trask hoist the trophy when the numbers look like this?

If there's one player who can challenge Trask for the award down the final turn, it's Alabama's Mac Jones. He's been either No. 1 or 2 on the board the last few weeks and appears to be the only player within striking distance of the Gators gunslinger.

Jones has led the Crimson Tide to an undefeated record so far, and likely another playoff berth. The redshirt junior leads the country in QBR (95.5) and has just 82 fewer yards than Trask; Jones' only downfall is his 23 passing touchdowns against Trask's 34.

Right now, it's unlikely that Trask can be caught. He's got two more games left to pad his stats against Tennessee and LSU. Last season, Trask threw for 298 yards and two scores against the Volunteers while recording 310 yards and three touchdowns versus the Tigers.

Both defenses are currently outside the top 30 nationally in DSP+, giving Trask and Florida's offense two more favorable matchups before he wraps this thing up.
