I've been a Heisman Trophy voter for a few years now and I can never
remember it being as difficult a choice as it is this year. That's why
I'm asking for your opinions on for whom I should cast my ballet.
This year there are so many candidates, which include mostly quarterbacks from the Big 12.
Graham Harrell of Texas Tech, Colt McCoy of Texas, Sam Bradford of Oklahoma appear to be the frontrunners, while last year’s Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow is also in the mix, like it or not.
So with that said, all you have to do is vote in the adjoining poll at the top of the page on who you think I should vote for and I’d like for you to post a message as to why I should vote for that particular player.
Again, with this year being as crazy as it is in college football, I need all the help I can get.
At the bottom of the page is a link where you can vote in the poll and voice your opinion.
Here are the candidtes:
Graham Harrell, Texas Tech QB
Graham Harrell and the Red Raiders are off this week, no doubt
preparing for next week's game in Norman, the most important in Texas
Tech's history. Can Harrell and the Red Raiders' offense maintain their
current form against the Sooners?
2008 season stats:
Passing: 4,077 YDS | 36 TD
5 INT | 71.7 CMP%
Rushing: 6 TD
Colt McCoy, Texas QB
Texas avoided any missteps against Kansas as the Longhorns beat the
Jayhawks 35-7. McCoy was 24-of-34 passing with 255 yards and two TDs,
while rushing for 78 yards and a score. Texas now heads into a bye
week, during which the Longhorns will be among the more interested
viewers of Texas Tech-Oklahoma next week.
2008 season stats:
Passing: 3,134 YDS | 30 TD
7 INT | 77.2 CMP%
Rushing: 527 YDS | 8 TD
Sam Bradford, Oklahoma QB
With the numbers he's been putting up, it's hard to believe Bradford
has taken something of a backseat to Harrell and McCoy in the Heisman
discussion, but that's how good the Big 12 QBs have been this year.
He'll have his chance to make his Heisman statement, and improve
Oklahoma's title hopes, when the Red Raiders visit next week.
2008 season stats:
Passing: 3,406 YDS | 38 TD
6 INT | 67.9 CMP%
Rushing: 4 TD
Tim Tebow, Florida QB
Tebow led the Gators to a 56-6 drubbing of South Carolina and Steve
Spurrier in The Swamp. Tebow was 13-of-20 for 173 yards passing with
two TDs and rushed for 39 yards and another score. Florida is
outscoring its opponents by more than 39 points a game during the
Gators' six-game winning streak since losing to Ole Miss.
2008 season stats:
Passing: 1,913 YDS | 19 TD
2 INT | 65 CMP %
Rushing: 393 YDS | 11 TD
Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech WR
Crabtree's proved unstoppable at times this season. His eight-catch,
three-TD performance against Oklahoma State last week was his 13th
straight game with at least five catches and one TD, tying Randy Moss.
If he does it against Oklahoma in Norman, he'll match Larry
Fitzgerald's record. Not bad company.
2008 season stats:
Receiving: 78 REC | 1,010 YDS
18 TD | 82 LNG
