Cardinal Rising -- Last year's #1 recruit, QB Jake Palmer, has the Stanford Cardinal sitting at 3-0 with 608 yards and 8 scores through 3 games, along with 3 rushing touchdowns. Could he bring Stanford back to the top of college football?

Thompson has thrown for 1112 yards and 13 scores, with 200 rushing yards and 5 more scores through 3 games. He could become only the second freshman ever to win the Heisman.
