If you are one to pay attention to all of those weekly lists that sports media likes to put out every week you may have noticed a surprising name surface on quite a view top-5 Heisman lists.

Tuesday in is only press conference of the bye week Alabama coach Nick Saban addressed the new found Heisman attention for his defensive lineman.
Realistically Allen has an extremely slim chance of winning the Heisman, but he could find a way to New York, especially if the Bama defense remains as dominate as it's been all season. If Allen turns out more performances similar to the one he tallied Saturday against Texas A&M and the Tide keep winning it could be hard to keep a member of the undefeated number one team in the nation from New York.
