Heisman finalists: Tebow, Bradford, McCoy
It seems like a long time ago that Chase Daniel was among the favorites for the Heisman Trophy, which will be announced on Saturday.
We do know that he won’t get to make a return trip to New York as a finalist. The top three were announced today: Florida’s Tim Tebow (last year’s winner), Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford and Texas’ Colt McCoy.
Tebow was the first sophomore to win the Heisman last year and is now trying to become the second player to win it twice. Archie Griffin won the Heisman as a junior in 1974 for Ohio State and again in 1975.
Tebow’s Gators will play Bradford and the Sooners in the BCS national championship game Jan. 8 in Miami.
When the final voting is released, it will be interesting to see if Jeremy Maclin or Daniel gets the most votes.
