Tim Tebow became the first sophmore to win the Heisman—the same way he scored 22 touchdowns.
Tim Tebow is the real deal America, and he will be around for a long a time so get used to it. Tebow received 1,957 points, well ahead of Arkansas tailback Darren Mcfadden (1,703). The 6-foot-3, 235-pound native of Jacksonville, Fla., picked to win on 462 ballots (52.1 percent), finished first in five of the six geographical areas.
Tebow said: "I think it's amazing that you're known forever as a Heisman Trophy winner". That's very special. It's overwhelming. I'm kind of at a loss for words."
Tim Tebow becomes the third Florida quarterback to win the Heisman, and the Heisman voters finally got it right. Tebow said that when he was growing up, he always looked up at Danny Warfeal as a role model and as a great individual.
Coach Urban Meyer said: "The sophomore thing, I keep hearing."
No question, Tim Tebow was the best college football player this season. Tim rushed for so many yards each game—he used his size and strength to score touchdowns and he used his great arm to produce even more touchdowns.
Tebow joins an exclusive club—with an emphasis on club. There is a camaraderie among the Heisman Winners that spans for generations to come. Tim Tebow is one of the classiest players I have ever seen win the Heisman or even attend the Heisman ceremony. He sure does put his faith before football, and that is a sign of a great football player.
Although Darren Mcfadden had a great year, in my opinion Tebow showed up every game and proved to be a big contender for the Heisman Trophy. As for here: Gainesville the city is so glad Tebow won it and since he becomes the third person from Florida to win a Heisman there is no question Tim Tebow is the real deal.
I have never seen a football player with that kind of size, strength, and speed to be so classy. Before Tim Tebow leaves UF, I think he will be in the running to win another Heisman Trophy to add to this one.
What a great College Football season it was—and congrats to Tim Tebow for winning the 2007 Heisman Trophy.

23 NCAA records... I bet most of the voters didn't even watch a single Colt Brennan game. They have no credibility because they just looked at stats and read news articles (most of those news journalist haven't watched Brennan play either... they just wanted a Sophomore to win it because... heck that would be interesting) I hope that when Hawaii murders Georgia, they will changes the rules to make voters watch at least the last 2 games for each Heisman candidate... at least then you have some credibility... Vote fair people!

The sad thing about all this is if Colt Brennan was still playing for Colorado he might have a shot and might not.
The Heisman voters got it right and even Colt Brennan admitted that.
