Ceremony Preview: In a college football year that was jam-packed with standouts the Heisman voting has selected just three finalists for one of the most prestigious awards in all of sports. Let’s break them down.

Alabama running back Derrick Henry is the odds-on favorite to hear his name called on Saturday night, particularly after he wrapped up the year by breaking Herschel Walker’s SEC rushing record. Henry finished the year with 1,986 yards and a national-leading 23 rushing touchdowns on the ground. He racked up at least 20 carries in nine games and in those games recorded at least 120 yards, including a 189-yard performance on the SEC championship.

Not to be outdone, Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey broke Barry Sanders’ 30-year-old record for all-purpose yards in a season this fall. His best performance of the year came on one of the biggest stages as he racked up 207 rushing yards, 105 receiving yards and 461 all-purpose yards in the Pac-12 title game. That’s the fifth-most ever in a single season. Last but not least, McCaffrey’s 3,496 all-purpose yards are 1,000 more than anyone else has this season.

Clemson has been one of the most dangerous teams in the country all season and leading that offensive charge has been quarterback Deshaun Watson. The dual-threat finished the regular season with 3,512 passing yards and 30 touchdowns as well as 887 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground.
