Each Saturday, Heisman Trophy voters Tim Sullivan and Lenn Robbins will break down three candidates, who may or may not have impressed the week before:

BILL STULL, QB, PITTSBURGH

TIM SULLIVAN: After many years of mediocrity, Dave Wannstedt and Co. finally have it going in the Steel City, and perhaps this is the year the Panthers win the Big East. If they do, it will be because of Stull’s poise, precision and production.

LENN ROBBINS: Wannstedt said before the season, “You need great play from the QB position to be a great team.” He’s gotten it from Stull, who has thrown 16 touchdowns and just four interceptions. Stull has three marquee games — Notre Dame, Cincinnati and West Virginia — to impress voters.

NOEL DEVINE, RB, WEST VIRGINIA

TIM SULLIVAN: Devine has made the most of playing Big East defenses, and of the Mountaineers’ national television games. It’s tough for anyone from this league to win the Heisman, but his numbers, in the end, may force him into the equation.

LENN ROBBINS: After rushing for 1,289 yards last season, it’s surprising he didn’t have more of a platform heading into this season. Devine rushed for 100 or more yards in five of seven games heading into last night’s South Florida game.

C.J. SPILLER, RB, CLEMSON

TIM SULLIVAN: He can do it all, and it’s just a shame the Tigers aren’t big enough on the national stage to support him. They have big wins, yes. Last week at Miami was huge. But we’re afraid no one’s going to see him much on television the rest of the way. That said, we cannot ignore the statistics.

LENN ROBBINS: Clemson sent out life-size posters of Spiller before the season started. He had a super-sized game in an overtime win at Miami, with 310 all-purpose yards. He leads the nation in that category, and Clemson is back in the ACC Atlantic Division race.
