A season ago, most people were talking about whether Trevone Boykin would be able to complete a pass.

Now people are talking Heisman for the TCU quarterback.

The senior quarterback, once just a fill-in replacement at the position, and now Heisman front-runner, is the reason why TCU is ranked in the top-five by every major publication and poll heading into 2015.

ESPN.com just produced a piece giving five reasons why Boykin could win the award.

TCU features an abundance of skill players back on offense and the luxury of Boykin being in an offense he's now familiar with.

Meanwhile, the TCU defense isn't expected to do as well, so that could mean Boykin will be faced with having to produce even more offense. More importantly, though, TCU has a very do-able schedule. Other than a road game to start the season at Minnesota, the Horned Frogs should have an easy time until mid-November. Enough wins early and Boykin will be in the picture.
