Tim Tebow- Heisman Trophy Winner

UNTflyer · December 9, 2007

First Sophomore ever to win.

Congrats, Tim. With two years of eligibility left, can he repeat??

Way too early but I'd vote for Michael Crabtree of Texas Tech. (Dallas Carter) Of course Tech will not be a nationally ranked team so that kills his chances. Dad has gone on record as saying that if he has another year like this year, he's gone.

During Crabtree's senior year at Carter, (QB) I posted that he would be our solution at quarterback (when we needed help there) I also felt that he would have been a two sport star for us; by starting at the 2 for our men's team.

Hell, how bout Casey Fitzgerald for Heisman?

While i wouldn't have voted him #1 - Tebow is a deserving winner. I doubt he repeats though.

McFadden should've won.

McFadden should've won.

Can't really argue against Tebow. I think McFadden had a better case last year.

Tebow had a great year, but for him to win as a soph? I have a hard time believing he is the best player in college this year. Out of all the greats of years past, no one ever won as a soph. Now he wins it? Is it a reflection of how great he is relative to previous winners or lack of talent this year?

It's a reflection of how much the voters have been opening up to the idea of an underclassman getting it.

You have a hard time believing it? What's the problem, 20 TDs passing and 20 TDs rushing aren't enough for ya? :lol:

I'll second that. Oh well, DMac will hit the NFL next year running, not sure what position Tebow will even play there.

He had a pretty awesome year in terms of numbers. His total offensive numbers were sick. I think McFadden was definitely in consideration, but he sort of disappeared in a couple of games this year. Brennan is great, but he doesn't play in the SEC. I think if he plays for any other team, he probably has a shot at the award.

Unfortunately, this is how many of the voters decide who wins. I believe the original intent of the award was to honor the best player in college football. It has changed to honoring the best player on a successful team in a BcS conference.
