Heisman Trophy: Is it Tebow's to lose?

[Escambia94]

At least someone outside of Gainesville still thinks Timmy is still in the running for the Heisman. Not that I particularly care if Timmy gets another Heisman, but the same milestones that Timmy needs to hit to get a Heisman are the same ones he needs to hit in order to fix the offensive struggles and turnover ratio.

For once, I think Timmy's Heisman chase is actually in line with Florida rising to the next level. My assumption is that we cannot play like this and expect to win at the SEC championship, much less the BCS championship.

This is officially the oddest Heisman Trophy year of all-time. We're eight weeks through the season and it seems as though no one wants the award. ...
I think Florida rights itself (can the No. 1 team in the nation really "right" itself?) and Tim Tebow has a breakout day. Dare I say, a Heisman-worthy day? I'm thinking the Tebow of old — one of those 200-yard passing/120-yard rushing performances — comes out for the first time all season against the team he probably dislikes the most. And then, with games against Vanderbilt, South Carolina, FIU, Florida State, and potentially Alabama in the SEC Championship Game left on the docket, Superman grabs hold of the award.

If I were to pick the Heisman front-runners right now I'd have to go with Colt McCoy or Jimmy Clausen. I'd love to see Timmy get another shot at being a finalist, but I also would like to see him kick things up a notch as far as our current level of play on offense goes.

I originally said the same thing in my original post, but I deleted it before submitting. Tebow does not deserve it at this point. McCoy is slowly fixing his Heisman credentials. I don't give a rat's @$$ about Clausen, so my vote is McCoy right now. I wonder who Timmy is voting for? It sure as hell better not be himself this year without some massive improvements.

If Tebow has a breakout day today he will be on top of everyone's list once again.

nope too much running. we need some 300 pass yard games

I almost posted this article when I read it when it was put online. I agree with what the guy says. Tebow had a good game today against Georgia, and considering there isn't a true Heisman candidate leading the pack this year, Tebow still has good chances. I think it's going to be more difficult for Tebow to get votes considering how he is hyped too much by some, and that makes people want to hate him.

Is Richt in the hot seat?

I think he might be, what about the rest of you?

If no one starts to pull away from the pack, Timmy will be a frontrunner for the Heisman simply because of his intangibles. He's the best leader in the nation, he has more Heisman "moments" and he's the quarterback of the top-ranked, undefeated, defending national champions.

Tim really really needs to go off the rest of the season or else it is going to Colt!

well idk, McCoy really struggled in his first 5 games, i dont know how u can say he is ahead of Tebow, even in there win saturday he only had one touchdown and 173 yds passing....tebow may not have put up his normal Tebow numbers, but he has had moments against Arkansas and LSU, where McCoy has struggled in marquee match ups like Oklahoma and Oklahoma State......and u know his recievers and OC hasnt given him alot of help...has McCoy had a break out game all year? Im not saying Tebow has done incredible either, but i think he has done more and has proven himself more....imho its his to lose this year....
