The Heisman

So as you all may know College football is coming to an erupt end with many spectacular individual performances throughout the season. At the end of every football season the very honorable Heisman Trophy is given out to one player who surpasses all the others in individual achievements. This year we have two players that had been in the Heisman race the past two seasons and a new comer who has had an outstanding season with Stanford as their starting running back. First we have Tim Tebow who is the starting quarterback for the Florida Gators has a season that consists of 17 Td’s with 2,166 passing yards. His numbers might not be overwhelming but as most people know the Gators are last year’s champions and currently ranked number one is the nation. Next we have Colt McCoy, starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns. McCoy has thrown for 27 Td’s with a total of 3,328 and also has a team that is currently undefeated. Lastly, we have Toby Gerhart, the running back for Stanford who has 26 rushing Td’s and a total of 1,736 rushing yards. Stanford hasn’t had a great year but Gerhart has had a breakout year and showcased his skills Vs Notre Dame in front of millions of viewers. I was very impressed and feel like his stats are so far beyond any other running backs that he should get the Heisman award and surpass the bigger names of Tebow and McCoy. A lot of people are putting Tim Tebow as the front runner to get the award, but I think a lot of that has to do with his team and not his individual achievement. People tend to focus more on team records and not individual players. This award is for the best player in College football not the best College team. If you’re a big College fan, I’d like to know who you might vote for and why. I feel like many interesting conversations are formed when referring to Heisman candidates. Thank you and good luck.
