After a five passing touchdown performance in Oregon's 58-24 win over Bowling Green, Justin Herbert has seen a big jump in his Heisman odds. The junior quarterback opened the season on OddsShark with 30/1 odds but now has moved up to the the top five after week one with 8/1 odds.

Herbert is behind front runner Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa(3/1), Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor (16/5), Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins (21/5) and West Virginia quarterback Will Grier (47/10).

The massive jump for Herbert comes after the junior quarterback threw for five touchdowns in the win on only ten completions. Overall, Herbert had six touchdowns on the night adding one on the ground. The quarterback was 10-21 for 281 yards with two interceptions. Herbert added another 41 yards on the ground including a 37-yard run.

During the Ducks season opener, Herbert passed the 4,000 career passing yard mark with his career total at 4,200 yards in 17 games. In his Oregon career, Herbert has now passed for 39 touchdowns with 11 interceptions.

After the first two Oregon drives ended in punts, Justin Herbert turned it on and led the Ducks to five straight touchdown drives. Herbert connected with Jaylor Redd on a fourth down from 33-yards to put the Ducks on the board. Oregon would score again from the air with Herbert connecting with Dillon Mitchell for a 9-yard strike. The Ducks would add Herbert's rushing touchdown with a short 2-yard run by the quarterback.

Herbert would continue his second quarter momentum with a 40-yard touchdown pass to Johnny Johnson III, where the receiver caught the ball on the 14-yard line but fought off tackles to get into the endzone. Nearing the end of the first half, Herbert drove 61 yards culminating in a 5 yard touchdown run from Cyrus Habibi-Likio.

The quarterback added to long touchdown receptions in the second half with a 83-yard screen pass to Taj Griffin and a 48-yard connection to Jaylon Redd for the final score of the night.

The juniors five passing touchdown performance helped fuel speculation for Herbert as a top NFL draft pick and his Heisman candidacy for 2018.

Last week, CBS Sports asked their college football writers who they think will win the Heisman trophy in 2018 with Barton Simmons picking Oregon's quarterback to win the award.

"The Ducks were 6-2 with Herbert last year; they were 1-4 without him. It averaged 520 yards of offense with Herbert, 320 without him. Herbert is 6-foot-6, accurate, athletic and potentially the top quarterback taken in next spring's NFL Draft. Because this is a year with a ton of good candidates but no sure things, I like the chances of a quarterback that will put up big numbers on a surging team that will have NFL buzz. If Oregon goes 9-3 or better (they will), Herbert will win the big prize."

Shortly after the 2017 Heisman was awarded to Bakey Mayfield, multiple early watchlists featured Herbert's name as a candidate in 2018. When asked about his name being mentioned as a Heisman candidate in 2018 at the Las Vegas Bowl, Justin Herbert told the media "I haven't seen too much of it but if that's the case, it's pretty cool."
