Tack on 6 more touchdowns for Tebow and his race for the Heisman. Too bad only one of them is passing. Not sure if that hurts him or not.
The USC game I think made it 95% that the trophy is his.Tack on 6 more touchdowns for Tebow and his race for the Heisman. Too bad only one of them is passing. Not sure if that hurts him or not.

I hope tim all the luck this year for the Heisman, and unless i'm wrong, there's never been a soph win a heisman, that could very well change if tim has 2 more games like he did sat. night![]()
But I’ll only vote for him if stops preening around in that skintight performance-wear thing while I’m polishing off brownie number four … Despite cries to the contrary, there actually is a runaway Heisman candidate with impeccable credentials. He was the nation’s leader in passing efficiency for most of the year before plummeting all the way to No. 2 last week. In other words, he’s one of college football's best passers completing 68% of his throws for 2,532 yards and 23 touchdowns with five interceptions.
There are only five quarterbacks, UL Lafayette’s Michael Desormeaux, West Virginia's Pat White, Washington’s Jake Locker, Navy’s Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada and Texas A&M’s Stephen McGee, who are averaging more rushing yards per game. He’s third in the nation in touchdown runs, with at least one in every game, obliterated the conference record for most rushing scores by a quarterback in a season, and set the school’s all-time season record for rushing touchdowns in a season, passing Emmitt Smith along the way. In other words, he’s one of the nation’s best runners.
Meanwhile, with a bull’s-eye clearly on his back, and playing in the nation’s toughest conference in the brightest of weekly spotlights, he’s always producing despite suffering a shoulder injury a few weeks ago.
So if Florida's Tim Tebow is having the best all-around statistical season of any quarterback, and it’s not even close, then why isn’t he getting any Heisman love? Why, and how, is this still a race?
The biggest problem is the record, losing three games so far. However, in the losses to Auburn, LSU and Georgia, Tebow wasn’t bad; it’s not his fault the defense is average, and it wasn't his fault the Gators lost. Second, he’s a sophomore. The Heisman always goes to running backs and quarterbacks, and it always goes to upperclassmen. If Tebow was a senior, this might be over. In 2001, Florida’s Rex Grossman was the best player in America, but he was a sophomore, Nebraska’s Eric Crouch was a senior, and the voters stayed true to form.
There’s certainly still time for things to change, but at the moment, there’s no other choice.
