Heisman finalists

[flasheightzero]

Bradford: 1726
McCoy: 1604
Tebow: 1575

Sam Bradford's biggest score: the Heisman Trophy.
Oklahoma's amazingly accurate and quick-thinking quarterback won the Heisman on Saturday night after guiding the highest-scoring team in major college football history to the national championship game.

A year after Tim Tebow became the first sophomore to win the Heisman, Bradford became the second and kept the Florida quarterback from joining Archie Griffin as the only two-time winners.

Bradford, who leads the nation in touchdown passes with 48, received 1,726 points. Texas quarterback Colt McCoy was second with 1,604 and Tebow -- who received the most first-place votes -- was third with 1,575 points.

The only other time the margin between first and third was smaller was 2001, when Nebraska's Eric Crouch beat out Florida's Rex Grossman and Miami's Ken Dorsey.

I'd give it to McCoy, didn't have the weapons around him that Bradford and Tebow had, lead his team in rushing touchdowns too. I don't thinkthere's a wrong choice here though.

*edit, maybe this dude should've gotten an invite too. sure he didn't have a great game in the L against oklahoma, but the whole team got scraped.he's definitely not a front-runner like the above 3, but an invite would've validated all those pinball-scoring offenses texas tech has had under mikeleach. apparently he played the 2nd half against baylor with two broken fingers on his nonthrowing hand. i'm impressed. his team had 1 loss, just like theothers, and he put up big numbers. he should've been invited, even if he wasn't gonna win

Graham Harrell

passing
4747 yards, 41 tds, 7 int, 71.5% cmp

Colt.

 

[kal ripped ken]

I'll have to go with Colt

doing more with less: he's been playing without a TE and a decent running game all year

 

[we gettin kufi]

It's gotta be Sam Bradford imo.


edit:

yall see Mike Leache's reaction on Harrell gettin left out of thefinalists

 

[executive76]

Tebow

 

[yungchamp]

colt ....but for some reason i wanna see tebow win it winning 2 in a row would just just b nasty

 

[measy15]

I'm leaning towards Colt...cause I have money on it.

 

[1nyceballa]

I just saw on sportscenter that Harrel isn't even a finalist...WTH?...he is just as deserving as all the other QB's. They all had the same record andthe stats are all kinda similar...and did we forget about the game winning touchdown pass that he threw against Texas? Or are we all caught up in the 40 pointloss to Oklahoma?...there is no reason why he should not be a finalist...

 

[airwing03]

Harrell should have been in the running just to make it 4 but he wasnt going to win anyways. i think they should wait until the OK v. FLA game to decide whogets it.

 

[mayhemmonkey000]

It should be Money McCoy, but it's probably gonna be Teabag

.

 

[akf0dy7]

my vote would go to Bradford.

 

[ericberry14]

i'd have to give it to Bradford or Tebow

 

[freddypee]

tebow ftw

 

[nickthesneakerkid]

I'm a hardcore UT fan, so you know where my vote is going to go and it's for the same reason the OP stated. McCoy carried a young UT to an 11-1 recordwithout any major offensive weapons like Bradford and Tebow. He deserves it more.

 

[dg kyrk 33]

I don't see how it's not McCoy. Anybody with a brain knows it should be McCoy.

 

[blondsoccerplyr]

Timmy T.

 

[wraith aka invincible]

anyone watchin macshay and kiper go at it right now?

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

 

[truthmain]

Who cares. Irrelevant accolades ftl.

 

[wings90]

Colt!

 

[wildkycat]

Colt McCoy

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Bradford or Tebow.

FYI- Offensive weapons aren't necessary when the opposing team sucks at defense. My little sister could win a Heisman in the Big 12.

so you're saying texas only won their games because all 11 opposing teams have terrible defenses?

You an SEC fanboy? I swear dudes find any reason to be mad at the Big 12 for being the best conference this year. As if poor defenses is why we have the mosthigh powered offenses in the nation.
