Colt McCoy is far from looking like a colt, but rather more like a stallion. McCoy is the cream of the crop in this year's Heisman race. McCoy is far and above the most accurate quarterback in the country (81.8% completion percentage), plus he is directing the fifth ranked offense in the nation. He has led the number one ranked, undefeated Texas Longhorns to three consecutive wins over Oklahoma, Missouri, and Oklahoma State, all previously top 10 ranked teams. McCoy just has that "it" factor. He is clearly the Heisman frontrunner and 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow said that Colt McCoy deserves the Heisman Trophy this year. Anything can rupture the Heisman race. A loss by Texas and a bad game for McCoy could leave the opportunity open to others.
There is a long list of Heisman candidates, but the one's most likely to challenge McCoy are Oklahoma's Sam Bradford, Texas Tech's Graham Harrell, Florida's Tim Tebow, and Georgia's Knowshon Moreno. Sam Bradford would be the favorite if it weren't for Oklahoma's loss to Texas. Last weekend verse Kansas State he led the Sooners to 55 points...in the first half. 'NUFF SAID. Graham Harrell is continuing to put up ridiculous numbers in Texas Tech's offensive scheme, but the Red Raider's are 8 and 0. Tim Tebow is not even close to putting up the numbers he did last year, but Florida may be the hottest team in the country so you have to include their leader. Knowshon Moreno is the hottest running back in the country and it is hard to argue with that. In the three wins since the loss to Alabama, Moreno has rushed for 436 yards. It will be very interesting if anyone can topple Colt McCoy in these last few weeks and take over the reigns for the Heisman Trophy race.
