Big-time Big 12
Heisman Trophy balloting could look like the All-Big 12 team.
My latest vote for the HeismanPundit.com/Orlando Sentinel straw poll is dominated by Big 12 players. Four of the five spots are from the conference, and frankly, I thought about having all five from it.
Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, by the way, was the unanimous winner of this week’s poll. Check it out at www.HeismanPundit.com.
Here’s my vote:
1. McCoy: The Longhorn quarterback was nearly perfect against Missouri, going 29 of 32 for 337 yards and two touchdowns. Hard to argue that he’s the leader of the Heisman pack.
2. Sam Bradford: The Oklahoma quarterback set a single-game school record with 468 yards passing. His touchdown-to-interception ratio is darn impressive — 26 to five.
3. Graham Harrell: Sure, he’s another quarterback in the Texas Tech system, but it’s hard to argue his production — 2,761 yards, 23 TDs, five interceptions. Plus, with the Red Raiders trailing Texas A&M last week, Harrell led the comeback.
4. Tim Tebow: The Florida quarterback is fighting an uphill battle; what he does this year is judged against what he did in his Heisman-winning season a year ago. Still, he has been solid.
5. Dez Bryant: Sure, it was only Baylor, but the Oklahoma State receiver had 212 yards receiving. He ranks second in the country with 115.6 yards receiving a game and third nationally with 11 touchdowns catches.
