Heisman Watch: Where Does Matt Corral Stand After Losing To Bryce Young This Weekend?

Corral's loss to fellow Heisman hopeful Bryce Young has hurt his odds.

Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral was the Vegas favorite to take home the Heisman Trophy this season before last weekend's matchup with Bryce Young and the Alabama Crimson Tide.

After Ole Miss fell to Alabama 42-21 at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Corral and Young have flipped spots in the Heisman race.

Corral's odds dipped from +160 to +250, and Young is now the favorite at +125.

It's hard to imagine Corral doing much more to gain back the top spot. As talented as he's been, he's skipped his best opportunity to win the Heisman by not beating Young in their head-to-head matchup.

Corral had his worst statistical game of the season, throwing for 213 yards and a touchdown on 21 of 29 passing.

Young completed 21 of 27 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns, but more importantly picked up a win to remain undefeated.

Young will likely need to injure himself and sit for a period of time or Corral will have to outperform him by a landslide to get even a sniff at overtaking him in the Heisman race.

Ole Miss faces another ranked opponent this weekend in No. 13 Arkansas, which will give the Rebels an opportunity to climb back in the rankings and for Corral to win some voters back over.
