Can Buckeyes Beat the Heisman Candidates?

With the announcement of the three Heisman finalists an opportunity presents itself to Ohio State.  Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon, Alabama's Amari Cooper and Oregon's Marcus Mariota could all add an extra finishing touch to the Buckeyes' already phenomenal season.

In OSU's rout of Wisconsin, Gordon was significantly outgained by Ezekial Elliott.  In our next game, we'll be facing Cooper.  How sweet would it be if Devin Smith (or any of our receivers for that matter) had a better game?  And assuming Oregon defeats Florida State, we'll be facing Marcus Mariota - providing an opportunity for Cardale Jones to out-perform the probable Heisman winner.

It would surely be most unusual for a team to face all of the Heisman finalists in consecutive games (possibly a first) - but out-performing each at his own position would be the icing on the cake.

Or - am I crazy?
